Solstice flights

[Spark]

Last Saturday was a bittersweet day - great for some ... but a tragedy for at least one Sylmar pilot and his family.

Kagel Mtn to 29 Palms (140 miles)

It was an epic day on the front range. I started out with the Sport2 eariler in the day with a few climbs to 8.5k msl, then flew the PG to 8k, top landed and caught the evening lapse to 9.6k.

Summer is kicking in ... monsoon behavior. T-storms yesterday and today.

King Mtn is just a few weeks away.
