Another great winch day at the Akavlieg - Potch Gliding. 25 winch launches in 5 hours with some flights hour and longer. The winter thermal certainly does their part.
2 youngster glider solo pilots Hannes and Thomas in the Potchefstroom skies for hours.
Theo Venter also came for an intro flight. Nice to have him there with all the knowledge and history he shared of the Potchefstroom Airfield and surrounding.
