GHSA currently has 11 active tow pilots. Besides safety topics the team discussed and reviewed currency requirements, tow plane maintenance and best practices of operations, With the upcoming runway improvement project the team also developed some ideas to further improve operational safety.
Big thank you to Simon Reynolds for donating 4 Brand new handheld radios for the Ground crew! They look sleek and work very well.
Too much Crosswind? We fly the Condor 3 Simulator!!!!
This is Simon Reynolds on the GHSA Condor simulator and Cuneyt Koksoy flying the VR Condor below.
Also Nicolas Penagos and Howard Law flew for a while. And Condor 3 does two seat gliders really well. Cuneyt and I took a tandem flight in an Arcus and flew a 183 km triangle task in Slovenia on the ridge. Great fun and we both learned things.
Thanks Gordon for bringing your VR Condor and the Condor simulator lesson.
