8600' cloud base yesterday at Quest Air
Pilots got plenty high in the light wind conditions with scatter
cu's yesterday. Today two women students are doing early morning tandems for
instruction with Mitch Shipley and Dean Funk.
Mark Frutiger has added an invigorating new element to the management here at
Quest Air joining Paul Tjaden and Mitch in providing services to an ever
increasing flow of pilots from up north and was hauling up the students and
their instructors this morning. Mark has a perfect background to be a hands on
manager here and has a great attitude. We are happy to see his well tanned face
after years of pasty white from his time living in western New York and teaching
hang gliding for the Rochester Area Flyers.
Quest Air at times appears to be a Yoga Spa with a hang gliding problem as
Delores Mordasini gets her student loosened up every morning at 8:30 AM (I think she is
soon going to start earlier as things heat up here) next to the pool. Belinda is
a very experienced student.
Russell Brown comes by about every day as he works on the planes and the
tractors. The professional tractor mechanic just showed up next to the Oz Report
World headquarters to get the PTO working. I think that he is going to spilt the
tractor to get at the PTO clutch. The tractors are used for mowing the runways
and have 10' and 15' mowing decks respectively.
The weather forecast calls for continued good weather for the next week at
least. The conditions are marvelous and pilots are wearing themselves out
flying.
Come on down and enjoy central Florida flying weather.
