L-29 Flap Retract Issue Fixed

Saturday was a busy day! Vlada (Aero Vodachody Factory Mechanic) returned to Gillespie from Thermal to finishing testing the flap micro switch installation. Patrick was on hand to work with Vlada and Rebecca (OC College A/P student). We got out the L-29 and ran it on the ramp (much to the chagrin of the Jean's Flight School students. After the test run, we put the L-29 back into the hangar and proceeded to reinstall first the right wing, then the left. Thanks to Janet for buying / providing lunch for all in the hangar.

Larry texted he was leaving Redding in his T-34 after his annual inspection, and after a refuel stop at Visilia he returned safely to Gillespie and was on hand for the wrap up of the L-29.

Josh Huggins called from the "closed" Gillespie Cafe with a couple of students (one from QCOM) and he taxied over to each the rest of our leftover lunch. We secured for the day!
