The Weekend Continues

July 4th, 2010

Demo Days is still happening…

It’s been a great weekend. There have been a lot of beautiful flights; mostly pilots towing Wills Wing demo gliders (Steve and Mike brought some beautiful gliders) but I also saw some pilots who had launched from the back side of the mountain and made it back to the lz.  And, the flying continues today and tomorrow.  Great towing conditions are expected for the rest of the day and tug pilots are at the ready.  So, come join us!

Also, a big thank you to Liz Fortanier and Don and Stacy Murdoch for putting on a great party!  Good music, friends, and food.  If anybody has any photos from the weekend, please send them to me at fly@hanglide.com.  I’d love to post them.

Demo Days Dates Update

June 28th, 2010

Well, we’re lucky enough to have both Steve Pearson and Mike Meier here for Demo Days and we’re lucky enough to have them for four days instead of three.  Please note that Wills Wing Demo Days starts on Thursday July 1 instead of July 2.  Please give us a call to sign up to fly one of the demo gliders.  706-398-3541.

June 25th, 2010

Stacy and Don Murdoch and Liz Fortanier are hosting our Fourth of July Party. This year we will celebrate on Saturday July 3rd with an awesome rock and roll band out of Burmingham (where Don owns a guitar store so you know he has some great connections), a catered dinner and kegs. Dinner includes bbq chicken, green beans, new potatoes, squash casserole, salad, french bread, peach and blackberry pies, and tea. All of this for $10 a person

The Fourth of July weekend is also our Wills Wing Demo Days. Steve Pearson will be here with gliders to fly and information to give. For more info on Demo Days go here.

We will also have a Landing Clinic at 1pm Sunday 7/4. This clinic is taught by Dan and will take place at the LZ clubhouse.
