Deceptive … It was dead calm at the surface and blowing 15 above 50ft. I was surprised to be flying 35mph immediately after launch. Conditions were bumpy and getting stronger as I climbed to 900ft. Descending to 350 it mellowed out but over the next 10 minutes the wind continued to build and so I opted to land while the getting was good. No Drama…
This was a nice one and the fourth flight this week. There was no Drama and perfectly calm air. The thermal layer was at 150 feet and easily 10 degrees warmer than the surface.
I flew NW to the Walmart Distribution Center and enjoyed the open pastures. The excitement was spotting a Gater in a small pond.
Beautiful day.
No Drama.
No Drama …
No Drama.
Nice little string of beautiful mornings. The last with Paul Czarnecki.
I was a little apprehensive flying with the Skydiving gang this morning. It turned out to be a non event with only two under fabric. I launched about 10 minutes after the jumpers and spotted them two and a half minutes into the flight. Because I thought these two had jumped low and more were coming, I stayed low and away from the LZ.
The air was still at the surface and about 10 mph from the East above 200ft. Tomorrow looks to be similar.
I’ll be there.
Impromptu flight. I awoke at 5 and the conditions were perfect.
No Drama except for some serious sink below 200 feet.
Lovely morning.
