Six oxygen-depleted glider pilots left GO2Altitude Hypoxia training at Moorabbin last night confidently well informed about how they would feel if they didn't use oxygen at 25,000 feet. Watch out for an upcoming article on this topic...

Below is a testing image from the GO2Altitude training system.

After a delayed start due to dodgy looking skies and lengthy discussion at the Committee meeting, Rolf, Gordon, Alf and Ailsa with towing help from Ian and Bob enjoyed a useful and instructive afternoon's flying on Saturday 10 May.  Each of us flew 3 times in the K13, with the Pawnee towing Ailsa's first 2 of 3 launches before Bob brought the Super Cub over to continue towing for the rest of the day.  

The forecast didn't look great, but the day developed into a great one.  We had a good turnout, and even the late people (delayed due to minor car trouble) arrived before 9.30!!!  Ales, Dejan, Frank, Ailsa, Alf, and Gordon all got two flights in.  Ales also did his first 1 hour solo in VH-OWL and after a reminder radio call, he landed, grinning from ear to ear.
