Course in the snow

Erik and I were on instructor duty last weekend. We went to Flesberg north of Kongsberg as there’s a good easterly site. It was snowing hard and mostly crosswind on Saturday so the students only got one flight each.
Saturday was a lot better with sun and nice take off wind. Johnny and Arild got three flights each, Geir got two. Ståle and Tor Inge had to share the Funfex, so they got one flight each. The students from Kongsberg were there as well and got quite a few flights.

I’ve placed the order for a new Litespeed from Moyes, should be ready when we arrive on Chrismas eve. Looking forward to Australia now, it’s been snowing hard in Oslo today.

Trøgstad towing

We did some Aerotowing from Trøgstad on Saturday. Nice fall weather, clear skies but rather cold. Some very weak thermals over the hills. We got a late start as Alf forgot the key to the tug and had to drive back to Oslo to get it. My glider frosted over in the afternoon when the sun got low, and I did not want to fly without de-icing :-) (Also called “doing a Brønstad”)
