Forecast did not call for what was to be a very special day to me. Light winds, late Oct….expected a extended sled ride at best. The day was so much more then that.
In the LZ is was ESE, (wrong direction for launch.) I was here might as well go up. On top it was coming in fairly straight. Clint (para pilot) was off first. Light cycles coming in. Gave it a few, he got low then found some stuff to work. Looking promising now. Took the next cycle & off I went.
For the next 1:45 I was playing with the clouds.
The wind picked up to strong for the newer paras that were waiting to get some. Joaquin showed up and launched his Falcon He had his longest flight to date 2:15. He only landed because he was frozen.
Been a very long time since I have updated this. So hard to keep on it. What prompted me to give it a go again now…. not sure.
The summer was spectacular. The Atos really help rack up the X-C miles. Broke a lot of personal bests thanks to Martin & Mia, & Michele & Jorge.
