We will do a recap of the launch and highlight photos at the next WAC meeting on February 7.
Special thank you to the volunteers for this launch:
Dale W. for towing the WAC trailer and providing instructions on WAC equipment.
James M. for supplying a very professional PA system.
Ken B. for capturing pictures and being a key flier.
Bryce and Nicole C. for suppling warm drinks.
All above for helping make the launch happen by volunteering your time for setup, take down, RSO and LCO duties. Without these volunteers the launch would not happen.
Fly safe,
Jack Poehlman
WAC Vice-President
