Thanks Michael H. for leading the interactive scenario based safety meeting. It was well received and we had great comments and discussions from everybody who came out. After that Lance and Andrew stocked up supplies and with the help of everybody we enjoyed 34 flights today.
The ground crew led by David C.
Like to see the best sailplanes and meet the best glider pilots in the world? Want to be part of launching 100+ gliders in 1 hour? They also come back around the same time, which is just awesome to watch. This August again come and join the 2024 WGC in Uvalde. Room and board is free! Do not miss the opportunity and contact David Coggins for more information.
Howard Rohde kept up the battle against the clover for a couple hours. The field looks good! Follow his example and get signed off on the Zero-Turn. Contact Dan Podkulski please!

DPE Tony Condon is congratulating Manolo and Gordon for passing their check rides. It was a windy day, challenging on tow but also rewarding with unexpected 5-8kts thermals.
Thanks Manolo for conducting the training which was well received (from top to bottom) by Susan, Sree, Pablo, Nicolas, Victor and Bassam.
Thank you to Connor for these pictures of the local Cub Scout group who visited GHSA today from 1130-1230! The group included 18 youth (Ranging in age from kindergarten through 5th grade) and their chaperones. All were amazed as they observed glider flights with takeoff/ landing narration, took a guided group tour of the Aviation Center, met pilots, and enjoyed a photo op with a glider.
What another fun day at the gliderport!
Please, welcome Edwin Old in our team. Ed has 800 hrs. tailwheel time and over 190 tows in his logbook already flying for TSA in Midlothian South of Dallas. Recently he moved to Houston and found us. Thanks Manolo (Chief Tow Pilot) for doing the extensive GHSA checkout and onboarding with him.
Pablo (Center) had the pleasure to do her maiden flight…..! Abhi and Matthew helped on the ground.
