Highland 8/1?

[Ashley Groves]

Thinking about doing some aerotow on Saturday. What are folks thinking?

[Dan T]

I think you picked the right spot today. I am planning on coming out and trying for some of that late day magic people have been talking about.

Well traffic going there was pretty bad and even though lots of decent looking clouds, lift was light. Bob Bucannan had two decent flight just under an hour each in his rigid, Ashley had a fairly nice flight, and on my second flight I got 32 min after release. Worth the trip but was expecting better. Other pilots got sleds or extended sleds. Also, Dan Tuckwiler got two tandems completed.

Finally. I've been meaning to get out there since last year. I did the first tandem on top just to get an idea of what things look like to follow a tug. Jim gave me the basics as we flew up to 2500'. We actually found some lift and stayed up for a little while. The stars were aligned because a while later all the scheduled students were late so Jim and I did another one. This time I flew on the bottom and followed the tug into the sky. We played I fly, you fly and I think I did okay. I honestly expected it to be harder. So things went well, I'm really happy I finally got out there. Hopefully a couple more tandems and I'll be good to go. Thanks Jim and John, it's a whole new world of flying.
