With no snow this season & a system moving through the stale air finally got moving & in the right direction. Off to Tekoa for a try. With temps in the teens this week, a high of 30° was going to feel warm.
4 paras & I got on top around 12:30 to find the XC skies forecast to be correct, 13-16 SSW. Robert was off while I was futzing with a new headset & helmet combo (ahhhh) Not realizing during this I did not buckle me helmet. Nothing came of it as I figured half way through the flight. (Wondered what that noise was….buckle hitting the helmet)
Got an hour & 40 minute flight out of it & managed to stay warm the whole time. Wind switched to a SSE & got sinky. The LZ had an E 3-5, odd it was 90° off from aloft. Pulled off a nice drogue chute landing.
Everyone had a really good time.
