No, that Saturday you visited us the launch window closed around 2:00 pm. Despite not flying, it was a wonderful day on the mountain. Those who launched before 2:00 PM had extraordinary flights, and a few lucky ones who launched later benefited from thermals in the valley. I was hoping for glassy af...

It was an interesting day at Woodstock on May 18. I waited for 12 minutes before I found a launch window that didn’t have any west component. I want to thank Mark, William, and John for their help.

I'm really sorry to hear this terrible news! George was such a wonderful person - always so kind and friendly. He would greet us hangis with a warm hug every time we saw him. This is such a heartbreaking day.
