Sunday - Monday:    No activity report received

Tuesday:

Arrived early at the  field Tuesday as forecast listed moderate winds for later in the day.  Had several "oldies but goodies" to fly again after rehabilitation and refitting.  Joined by Jim O. and later by Ed J.  as the glider boys took over the field.
 
End of report--pix include an Accord (purple and yellow) from NES and a Jackknife (yellow and navy).  Wind got a little nasty toward the end of the morning, I threw in a pic of my E-flite UltraStick making a "John Poco landing"--you can see the stress on the gear as a wind gust slammed it down.   Jim reported water on the field on Monday, most of it gone today w/just a couple muddy spots left.

Thursday :  No activity report received

Another busy weekday at the field.  Two DLG throwers, Dr. Dave and Larry.  Three winch-launch glider flyers, Ed, Mike and Dirk.  Finally three general  flyers;  Jim, Gaige and Linda.  And talk about a beautiful day--be sure and write and tell all your friends up north.

Saturday:


Stiff forecasted breezes held off all morning allowing for all types of flying out at SAGE Field.  Those on hand included Dan and Gretchen, Gaige and Linda, John, Dave, Doug, Jim, Larry, and your old WebMeister.  In between flights, Gaige was able to bring one of Doug’s Lipo batteries back from the dead.  The technique is more complicated than you would think.  Although conditions looked great; the “pure” glider guys, John, Dave, Franz, and Doug found little lift.  Just before I left for home Linda was observed guiding the Wunder Spectra around the sky.  Just remembered, we saw a P-51 climb out of the Marana AP during the morning.  Must be in town for the up coming air show out at DM.  Those old WW-II fighters look so small compared to today's ships.

Note from your WebMeister:  You may have not noticed, but we have a new ”Photo Gallery” page on our web site which replaced the old “Last Page”.  The Gallery page has a link to several pages of SAGE pictures.  I have just started pulling together photos for these pages.  If you notice errors in the captions would you please let me know so that I can correct them.  I will be adding additional photos over the next few weeks so check back ever so often.
