The team SWIFT
attended the EISS soaring event at Blakesburg September 15 and 16.
The attendance was excellent and we all witnessed and did some
great flying. Tks to the EISS guys for putting on an excellent
event.
Bring something
to fly in the parking lot after the meeting. Its getting dark
earlier, but if the wind is low we can get in some under the
lights flying after the meeting.
