Recently Xavi and Cliff gained access to a property near the our flying site and gave us an aerial report on the flooding situation, using his glider and an attached video camera. Three fourths of our run way is out of the water, and should be useable in few weeks . His video made it all the way up to state officials and have hired Xavi to film some more footage all around the valley. Job well done!
