I ended up having some good glider flights for Independence Day. I joined
the club out at Sunflower yesterday so I decided to go out there. Got a
fam. flight in the 2-33 and then pulled the 2-22 down. Gave a friend and
my fiance a ride. Searching for lift both times and couldn't find
anything, in fact just major sink. So down we came. then a student
showed up so I gave him a couple instructional flights. Got a good intro
to forward slips since this was an old 2-22 with itty bitty airbrakes. not
like the airbrakes on the later 2-22's had really effective airbrakes
anyway...

After that we got a guy up for an intro flight. He had been out to the
airport the weekend before to check around so it was nice to get him
flying. Got him a little stick time and a bit of thermalling too.

Finally got the fiance back in the front seat for another flight hoping to
find a thermal but got shot down again so we put the 2-22 away and headed
back home.
