We all had a great weekend last at Forbes with plenty of thermals making for easy cross country flying. I was playing tow and retrieve. That is tow with the Dragon Fly and retrieve the very, very excited boys by car.

There is no better place for cross country at this time of the year with abundant thermals and great landing paddocks. There's even country pubs with landing paddocks for those who develop a thirst whilst awaiting the pick up. The story I got from the pilots both days was that they could have gone a lot further but the lure of these great pubs got the better of them. No complaints from me, easy pickup, excellent beer and the meals were superb. What a great way to end a perfect day.

The next aerotow will be the 19th and 20th April to allow us a bit of time to build up brownie points so we can get away without feeling guilty for having so much FUN.

Those interested in attending should have an aerotow endorsement and contact me to advise numbers as they will be limited.

An extra day either side to make a long weekend is possible if we get enough interest.
