    Visalia February 2018

    Visited our west coast friends today at Visalia February aerotow (aerotow take place in the CVRC club every third week en from fall to spring to end the season in may with their spring aeotow

    Attendance has been great I have been able to see some faces that we met couple years back at Horizon aerotow at the time (John, Dennis, Dean, Dan ....) and meet some new friends (Mike, Mark, Gary...)

    Really good weather the day I was there, some beautifull machines off course with the AN66 and the Baudis ASW22, what some awesome machines!! of course a bunch of Arcus and duo discus, couple of half scale and so on... Plus the pretty Dimona of Dennis that flew great (see the video in my pictures)

    I took 93 pictures and small video thinking at my eastern friends that are probably enduring a snow storm, take your time to look at them here

    It was great to see you Stephane, now that you have experienced our little slice of heaven located at Visalia we hope to see you back soon and bring friends.
    The flying was quite good and the thermals were active, I even worked some low level lift with the Dimona.

          Dennis, what is the power plant in that bird? Seems to have plenty of power!

        Stephane, sounds like you met some of our local club members at the slope site near Visalia? Paul Johnson, our former club president, has become a "snow bird" and winter in California and said that he met you sloping. I think he made the right choice as we batten down the hatches here in the great Midwest for another of mother natures winters storms. Spring cannot come any sooner. Thanks for the great pictures and videos. Nice to see a video of the Dimona fly. Think Spring.
