A first for me at the pulpit sat.

I almost forgot about a launch I had witnessed saturday. Denis Scheele launched his topless talon from the pg launch. He had five of so steps into straight in wind- off he went.It looked nice, sure would be good to get those boulders out of the way! Has anyone else watched this type of launch at the pulpit? Pretty cool. Shawn.

As far as I know, that's the first HG launch of any sort from the
ground at the Pulpit. We had talked about it being possible
(eventually) to launch Falcons out of there, but never seriously
considered higher-performance gliders. Part of me thinks this is
really cool, but part of me also wonders "What was he thinking?!"
