Default And Speaking of George

Yesterday, George Applebay dropped by Sundance Aviation to fly. I provided
the tow to 2,000 ft AGL and Billy Hill rode along in the back seat of the
Grob. George did all the flying (and was up for about an hour) and came
back with a wal-to-wall grin. Said it had been about 5 years since he'd
flown.

Billy told me that George was sole manipulator. Maybe he'll chime in and
describe the flight.

George is about as good as they come. Him and Fidel were integral in
helping us get our glider airworthy, and of course, were fun to work
with.
Glad to hear he got in the air again!
