Yet another bitterly cold clear day, with the kit at the right end this time...little clouds started to appear and by lunchtime there were flights lasting slightly longer than the normal sledge ride of nine minutes. By three everybody was staying up and Miles Wigfield was able to soar a K13 over an empty launch point; both K13s, a PW and a K8 all staying up at the same time under a north easterly cloud street. The only sound in the K13 cockpit was the vario and intermittent chattering of the CFI's teeth (huddled up in the back but enjoying the ride).
Back at the ranch a crew had folded up KRX for its trip to the workshop for a routine inspection, and then retreated to the club house to sit in the warm and read old S&Gs, and who can blame them. Pretty good for the third day of the New Year!
