Pulling out gliders into the sprinklers... and other pics

About 9am on Sunday, pictures from the future! This is MN, the Twin Astir we are flying. Some specs for those of you who want to geek out a bit...
Max speed is 135 knots, 155 mph. Stall speed is 43 knots, 49 knots with airbrakes open. Add 6 knots to stall speed if your wings are wet...
17.5 m wing span, 8.1 m long, 1.6 m high and and aspect ratio of 17:1 hehehehe...

The fantastic garb I am wearing is issued Southern Soaring stuff. Got a white collared shirt and the blue and black windbreaker, and I found myself a white bucket hat in the staff house too. Should get a nice denim shirt as well, but we don't have any small enough for me at the moment. Behing me are the hangars, three big long ones. They open from both sides and the gliders face outwards from them. No moving anyone elses stuff to get yourself out!


Well, we bought a car...
Jay-Rod, you'd be proud... its' a LANCER!!
AND ORANGE!!!
