Tha Thang:
"Today we're flying Ultralights! Also known as sailplanes, or gliders, these aircraft soar the sky with no need for an engine. Well, some of them have engines, but ours don't. So we need tow planes!"
Grabbed a Berris™ Combustion model tow plane (Cindy) for each pax, then did:
– Vertically Challenged Cockpit Entry Maneuvers (aka CEMs; Step-ups onto Cindy, directly flowing to a high knee, then back down: 15 reps IC per leg)
– Flap checks (Hold a squat, with Cindy held straight out in front, turn it left like a steering wheel, then full turn back to the right to complete one rep: 12 reps)
– Rudder checks (Freddie Mercs: 20 IC)
Pressed our Berris™ one button ignition, but our tow planes didn't start. Took a look at our engines, and clumsily dropped our wrenches under our planes.
– Wrench finders (while holding plank, drag Cindy from one side of your body to the other, passing underneath your stomach, then back to the opposite side to complete one rep: 15 reps oyo)
Realized we had forgotten to fuel our tow planes!
– Berris™ Fuelers (Squat lift the nozzle, aka Cindy, then overhead press to reach the fuel tank: 10 IC)
– Overhead nozzle (Cindy) hold, counted to 100 around the circle to finish fueling
Tried pressing the ignition again, but no luck. Decided to switch to the Berris™ Electric model. Put Cindy up, and grabbed the small bricks (two per Pax). The electric model is much lower to the ground, so our Cockpit Entry Maneuvers were adjusted accordingly.
– Electric CEMs (Sideways jumps with feet together across a pair of bricks laid end to end, back and forth to complete one rep: called 30 oyo, ended up modifying)
Since the electric model has an AI pilot, there's no need to check the flaps. Instead we focused our preparation on comfort and appearance.
– Legroom Checks (Gas pumpers with a horizontal Rosalita: 15 IC)
– Sparkle Checks ✨ (Deep lunge to the left for first count, "wax-on" motion next two counts, back to standing position for rep count, with the bricks: 20 IC)
Pressed our one button ignition, still no start. Forgot again to fuel the plane! Had to plug in the magnetic charging cable (kettlebell swings) and crank the generator to fuel our tow planes. Had to bring out our generators (go get Cindy again).
– Berris™ Electric Fuelers (kettlebell swings w/ bricks, 30 oyo)
– Generator Cranks (lawnmowers: 10 each arm oyo)
– Stubborn Generator Cranks (curls: 20 oyo)
"Well, the generator should take about a day to charge up the plane. I don't know about you, but this Berris™ Fueler could use a Day Off!" We decided to spend our break time fishing.
– Berris™ Fuelers' Day Off, a.k.a. Line Casters (Get in the "boat" from Boat Canoe, hold the two bricks behind your head, and "cast the line" in front of you: counted 1 per rep to 15 around the circle)
Went back to our charged up tow plane, and this time she started! Time for takeoff:
– Towplane Taxi Takeoff (mosey out to second light pole, sprint back)
Once airborne, we realized the flaps on our ultralights were stuck! One side wouldn't go up, one side wouldn't go down.
– Flap Jam (bear crawl along the wing + 10 merks, bear crawl back + 10 squats)
Finally, it was time to glide in our ultralights!
– Slipstream Glide (Indian Run, 1 lap)
– Put Cindy + bricks away
– Landing (arms out and very slowly lower into a squat, while banking left and right. Once in a deep squat, held there for a 20 count around the circle)
Touchdown!
Pledge, then COR and NOR.
COT:
Prayed for Norm, people at Pergo's church who have covid, and growth in the Lord.
