Floyd Cadwell's New Atos - A New Season and a New Glider

My 2006 flying started off in February with flights at both Quest Air and at Wallaby Ranch in Florida. I did sixteen flights in Florida with the highest being 6,090 feet and the longest time being 3 hours. We met many of our old friends and made lots of new ones and I hope to see you all again real soon.

Now that winter is over here in south-western Ontario, Canada we have started flying at our aerotow sites and first off it was Cloud 9 on May 6, and 7, 2006. I had only one tow each day and got up to 4,500 feet on Saturday and 6,500 feet on Sunday and both days were blue sky days with no clouds to mark the thermals. Some of my friends flew for three hours each day and my longest flight was two hours and 18 minutes. One of our local pilots, Floyd Cadwell flew his new to him Atos V and Floyd is the first of our local flyers to have a Atos glider. It was a spectacular weekend and we all look forward to many more great ones.
