Hi Ross,
Come to the field and seek out our Instructor Brian Gray and he will get you flying with the Club's new Apprentice trainer. I see that you have your MAAC membership for 2016 already, so you are good to go. This time of year, the guys are generally at the field from 9am onward on weekend days and holidays.

cheers,
Bill

Ross,

You've come to the right place! That said, this weekend is not looking the best for flying.... very cold and high(ish) winds. Even some more snow for Saturday. Wind chill is predicted to be -15.

There might be a few people at the field, but be forewarned that this could be hit and miss given these conditions. My schedule is currently up in the air (no pun intended :D ) for this upcoming weekend with family activities, so my availability at the field will be limited regardless of the weather.

We'll definitely be able to get you up for an introductory flight though. We just need to find the right conditions to make it a success!

Brian
