Will we always get what we have always got????

With the likelihood of a beautiful weekend (sunny weather, light SW winds and a departing southerly airmass providing high cloud bases) we here in Tauranga are splashing out and doing what we always do...the same as we have always done...a few trial flights and the PW5's doing a few 10 minute flights. Pity really, we could have encouraged some of our newer pilots (and more timid older pilots) to travel over the hill to Piako to experience gliding on the ridge, without ATC nonsense, and with other likeminded pilots. I'd even offered to provide some supervision...but no. So we'll continue to get what we have experienced now for 10 years...a slowly declining membership. HOWEVER...the weather for the weekend looks good...gliders out, wings polished, pee bags installed, GPS on, camera's loaded, and away we go...
