Pictures from Open House

12/6/2010

 
With rain and other misery in the forecast, SOSA Open House on June 5 almost was not. But Mother Nature took pity and gave us a half day window of flyable weather, visitors came in sufficient numbers to keep all our two seaters flying and enough members came out to lend a helping hand. 

 

Skies were unsettled producing amazing cloud shapes and colors. Skies were also very busy with all two seaters and both towplanes flying.

  

Our tireless tow pilots worked non stop towing intro rides as well as some student flights.

  

Instructors were busy flying with students, doing some intros as helping out on a flight line.


Andrew was official VIP for the day and got a lot of help from Spencer, Dave, Herrie and others.

James, John, Steve, Peter and others helped the duty crew to keep the flightline running smoothly and making sure that landed gliders did not have to wait for a long time.

Paul Fish and his crew kept visitors entertained and fed in the club house.

Big thank you to all club members who came out that day! Another big thank you to visitors who came and checked us out. And final thank you goes to Mother Nature for holding off rain and thunder till later that evening.
