This is just to prove that in spite of the weather, we did go out to the GCRCC field and did some aerotowing !

"Us" being Paul & Rudi Siegel, Don Belfort, Glenn Stucker, Jim Ryan, and myself, later Barry Andersen joined us.

Paul and I got there by 8AM, at that time it wasn't raining, but we sure did not have to wait very long, and it rained till approx. 9:30 and after that we did some tows.

Here some pictures:

And the funny thing is, we were lucky yesterday morning, compared to the weather yesterday evening, and today....
