Description

One interesting thing to sit back and watch at Wadsworth Municipal Airport (#3G3) is the launching of a glider by the Soaring Thunderbirds. To avoid congestion on the main runway RWY 2-20 the club launches their tow teams off of the less popular RWY 10-28. The problem is the dramatic elevation change at each end of the runway. Here you see the Cessna 150F towing it's glider towards a hillside referred to either as Mennonite Hill or Acme Hill. What they will then do is fly into a right hand turn keeping the pattern tight within the bowl until the flight is above the bowl's confines. From there they spread out finding the proper rising air mass.
