3/7: First Collective Day @ Blue Sky

Post by chuckok »

Went to Blue Sky to do some tows and get the chute packed for the spring ... High preassure day ... only two guys, Tom and Dave, managed to get any air time with Tom getting to 3,500'. Everyone was flushed once Peter launched.

Had an opportunity to test out the new helmet cam. My wife wonders how long you can actually watch a field from the air ... need to work on that problem, but there's a funny picture of Steve hitting the go button before launch 8)

Thought it came out pretty well chuck for a first try...it might be cool to move it out away from u some how..instead of the helmet cam u might get better visuals...Rich
