Positive SignsOnce
again, there have been a few changes since our 2011 visit, generally for the
greater good. The car-park has been re-laid and a couple of visitors'
hangars have appeared on the airfield, in which space may be reserved for a
nightly fee. Following the Omarama example, gliders may be moved freely
without disturbing other gliders, and power and water are available inside
the hangars.
There have been some
personnel changes too: Jean Cosnard has stepped down as club President in order
to spend more time with his toys, and Alex has moved on to follow a career
in commercial aviation. I found during my March experience that the aerotow
service was excellent, with prices comparing well with those of my UK club. The
office is as welcoming as ever, thanks to Claude and Nicole, and the on-site
restaurant le Janus has been completely refurbished.
