Merlin (very) happily welcomed our new Cessna 150-180 tow plane to the Aerodrome yesterday! Eric, Dave, Stephan, Greg, Pete and JD were on hand for the arrival of N19094. Dave got the first tow in the 1-26, said it was a great ride up to 3,000.
In other news, the 1-26 tire was replaced with a new tube and tire. The old tire was starting to show signs of wear noted during the glider annual this past May. Dave field tested the tire during his 'first tow'.
The 2-33 is down for repair. We had some ground vehicle contact with the glider (not related to MSA operations) that ended up damaging the wing tip and the outrigger. Our A&P, Tom, was onsite yesterday working on accessing the inner parts of the wing to determine the repair process. We're keeping our fingers crossed for fast and simple repair needs!
