Early May GGC Adventures

What a weekend! May 2-3 provided stellar conditions for soaring even with 24 kt SW winds at altitude. 7000 ft thermals with average thermal strengths of 4 kts made for a memorable 2 days of flying.

Saturday evening also provided good clear sky conditions for the first runway walk of 2009. Runway walks at GGC are a tradition that go back to the early years of club operations at Pendleton aerodrome. A group of members usually head out after dark to walk the triangular circuit of GGC runways, usually stopping at the far SW corner of the runways for star (and satellite) gazing. Norm, Andrew, Brenda, Lucile, Niall and yours truly bundled up to officially usher in the 2009 runway walk season.
