Today, at Sports Class Nationals, we had another no fly day. 93 was severely stuck in the Caesar Creek club campground so he arranged a tow out....short video of the event here...

Ummm..... "No fly day at a contest....", everyone is looking for something to do. Figures there were pilots/crew/staff sitting around having a beer and watching someone else with bad luck.... (Yes, I've been one of those sitting around before.... more than once.... whatever entertains....).

So, is the tow truck driver signed off for ground launches?
Does the pilot get his, "Aero launch only" restriction removed?
Was it really that bad onsite today?

Let "Chuck" know "OH" is an ASW-28, not a -27. Also, if it's a "-29" it's an "ASG" not an "ASW".

Thanks for sharing the video though..... farmers must be happy with the rain.....

Actually, Southern Ohio has had way more rain than the farmers want or need.

Regardless, I had a great time at CCSC. Many thanks to all the CCSC'ers involved in putting on the meet.
