I have the brisket others please bring sides. I will also have plates and eating utensils as normal. Looking much forward to seeing the “El Roy Gang” again.

ps

I am a flight instructor again. I did this years ago and our gliding club was short on instructors. The other instructors ganged up on me and in effect said “you will do this again!” I am glad they did. It gives me purpose.

Took my check ride two weeks ago. Two hours after the check ride I was in the back seat of a glider teaching kids how to fly. It is great. I was not worried about the flying test as I have never stopped flying. I was really worried about the oral exam.

The FAA guy was good to me. Since I was an instructor in the past he did not legally need to give me the oral test but he did. He did this to find my weak areas on air law and give me guidance. The FAA guy was a good man. He is also a member of our club and we have frequently flown together. He knew my skills and the check ride was very easy.

It is fun to pass down skills to those that want to fly.

As this is a private club the instructors are paid the grand sum of zero. This is okay as I am now back in the game that I love.

Forgot to add this, I miss El Roy, Eaker, NY Texan, Ditz and all the others. We are all brothers and sisters. We are “La Familia de El Roy.”
