Lots of wave this month!!

QQ & XG.
QQ the brand new Duo Discus XL has arrived!

Gavin is the most comfortable he has ever been in a Glider
- front seat or back!

QQ is very quiet and beautiful to fly.

XG is George's new glider, a Discus 2C.

Tow plane OMA is humming along with its new engine, and Ash is carefully breaking in.

On the 11th the weather was rough in the Maitland, and Nick Sarel and QQ (with Gavin)
both had their first land out, with cows and rain. A real New Zealand christening!

Terry Delore and John Kokshurer return to Omarama
from their 151/2 hour, 2,500 km flight at an average speed of 180 kph!

Davide Allidi from Switzerland spent a great week flying with G Dale.

Ricoh South Island had their annual Christmas dinner at Omarama and 17 of them took a glider ride into the wave!
