🎉 Big day at the field yesterday: TWO solos! 🎉

Congratulations to Omar, who soloed in the 2-33! ✈️

And Charlie spent the whole day towing everyone else up, then swapped places and soloed the Blanik in the evening light. What a way to end the day! 🌅

A huge thank you to our instructors George and Tony. 👏

Blue skies, Omar and Charlie!

Great to have Chad back out towing today — we've missed him! 🤙

Blue skies, a busy flight line, and 14 tows on the day. Welcome back, Chad!

Please join us in welcoming Arlon to the towpilot roster! 🛩️

Arlon brings a deep well of experience to the club — he's a commercial glider pilot and a CFI-G, and he tows. Yesterday was his first day pulling gliders up for us, and it was a great day of flying all around.

Welcome aboard, Arlon — we're lucky to have you.

The mighty Pawnee 🛩️

N6483Z doesn't ask for much attention sitting on the ramp, but this airplane is the reason any of us get airborne.

The Piper PA-25 was designed to fly low, slow, and heavy over crop fields. Turns out that's exactly what a glider tug needs: plenty of power, short-field manners, a rugged airframe, and a cockpit set high enough that the tow pilot can keep eyes on you the whole way up. Hundreds of Pawnees finished their ag careers and found a second life at gliderports, and we're lucky to have one.

Rope tight, throttle up, climb out, release. Then back down for the next one, and the next one, all afternoon.

And behind the stick? A volunteer who'd probably rather be soaring. Thanks, tow pilots.

Saturday delivered. Anna and Esther had a beautiful flight, and Esther's video puts you right there with them: takeoff, thermalling, and the landing. Thanks for sharing these with us, Esther! ☀️

Please help us welcome Spencer, our newest tow pilot! ✈️

Spencer will be flying our Piper Pawnee out of Deer Park Airport, and he's available on weekdays — great news if you've been hoping to fly outside our usual weekend schedule.

Like the rest of our tow pilots, Spencer's volunteering his time and skill to help keep the gliders (and the club) in the air. If you're out at the field, be sure to say hello!
