Well.... How often do we get a sunny easterly day? I think I'll up to Bill's
too, just on the off-chance that there might be enough happening to keep
the hangies up in the air too.

Either PG or HG

Well it was a nice day anyways. Flying HG's were Mark C, Rich B, me, and Alexander, back in the saddle flying a new to him Pulse delivered by Mark from the Ohio Flyers. Flying PG - Laszlo, Tom C, Carlos, Matthew, Karen, and Dan Tm. A few of the PG's aaaalmost soared and all of us HGers pretty much made bee lines for the LZ. The air was indeed buoyant but I could probably count the total beeps on one hand. Set up a nice long final approach and had a great landing for 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Woohoo!

[Matthew]

11 minutes-- turned my vario on just before launch and off when I landed-- got 50 feet over!!! Yoo Hoo!

Dan Tw on final.

I call that a flare!

Rich B heading toward the LZ.

Another good flare....

And Rich is happy with his landing.

A no vario PG sled ride, although I could tell there was a little lift out there. Tom, Matthew and Lazlo proved it could be soared, at least a little.

It was a lot more fun that watching the Redskins get beat again.

Although that might have been fun too.

I thought the video file had been corrupted but I tried again and it worked. Here's a short vid from a short flight.
