X-mas Flying

Looks like Santa is bringing West winds of 5-10, sunny skies and temps in the 40s to the Pulpit on Tuesday. Anyone else wanna come on out and enjoy this great present? Bring your Santa Suit.

I arrived to meet Janni in the main lz at 11. We dropped my car in the secondary and headed up to launch.Matthew and Karen arrived shortly after. Janni, Matthew and I helped Karen off launch. Janni was next. Matthew and I talked about launching me from the PG ramp .Matthew was coming after me flying PG then.It was coming in nice and steady and straight 15-18.I was considering it very seriously, then Rich Bloomfield showed up.Rich and Matthew helped me off the old ramp. Thanks for your help guys. I got a half hour in some tight thermal flying. ( Kept falling out). I would say ok, count to 3 and turn,no count to 2 and turn, no count to one and turn. Shit...... Big sink....... below ridge now. Head out to secondary. Rowdy...... Set down, two-three steps and drop onto knees.
OK that's flying at the Pulpit on Dec. 25th........... ( Thanks Rich, for thinking of us crazy assed pilots!)
I had fun, It was a NICE DAY!!!!
Matthew , how did you make out on your PG flight?
I had to roll to my mother's house...
Peace and good will, Shawn.
