Excellent Flying Conditions Have Given Members An Opportunity For Achieving Advancement Goals
This July four of our pilots have achieved milestone flights
-
David Cooper achieved three goals in one flight Silver Distance (50km), Silver Height (3,000ft gain above launch height) and Silver Duration (5hrs).
-
Dave Shirley gained his Silver Duration
-
Nigel Day gained his Silver Height

Chris Young also gained his Silver Duration
Well done to all four, who achieved these goals from a winch launch and in the Club's K8 Glider.
