Our club recently did a gliding promotion in support of the "Big Day
Up" national gliding day in New Zealand. We managed to do 155 "trial" flights with 4 twins & 2 180hp towplanes in a little over 10.5 hours. That included one hour wih only one tow plane as the other "broke" and we had to organise a backup" Yep it is a club record We think a New Zealand Record Anyone alse in the world done better than this. Flights were aero tows to 1500ft done on a fully controlled regional airport. So we had to fit in on a parallel runway to arriving and departing commercial commuter stuff!! The airport recorded its highest movement count in its history that day with 800 movements. |

No idea, but let us know if any join up. The defunct Enstone GC in the
UK once did an open day of trial flights for the general public. 130 flights from a two drum winch with three two seaters, launches to 1500ft. If was a fund raiser. I think we had one family join the club as a result. Frank Whiteley |
