Our good friend Paul Stuber has gone west.

Today, Paul Stuber, passed into the arms of Jesus. He was a good, rock solid, man of the earth who loved his family, his wife, Phyllis, for 67 years, his grand children and great grandsons. Paul loved Roosterville Airport and all the many pilots and aviation lovers that came to the table of wisdom. He dedicated 50+ years to 0N0 and our world will not be the same without him.❤️

Safety Tip Tuesday

The Rudder Waggle Signal.

This signal is used by a tow pilot to signal that something is wrong with the glider. The typical problem is the spoilers are open and the climb rate is terrible.

Remember: close the spoilers, don't release!
