Two more flights in Mr. Barley’s log. Bothe reverse. All is good just the landing flare needs some work. No bellyflop tonight.
July 23/15 am – Mr Barley 5 more flights
Mr. Barley I added five flights to his logbook this morning. Conditions were good with the initial overcast till about 9 AM. Enough wind for reverse inflations.

July 22/15 pm – Mike 2 flights, Mr. Barley 10 flights
