Highland on Friday 5/21
Turned out to be a really nice flying day on Friday. A number of pilots including Tom M, Danny B, Christian, Steve K, myself and a few others were able to enjoy the lift that got better and higher as the afternoon went on. I believe Tom was still in the air when Danny landed after 3.5 hours. I flew for 2:20+ and got about a mile high! Definitely my nicest flight of the year so far.

Nah, I thought that the scoundrel was still up but as it turned out he had recently landed and was "hiding out" by the fire pit 
Adam was flying his T2C repeatedly thermaling up to altitude and blowing off the height with loops and spins. I got to see the bottom of his sail while above him more than once :-0.
Seriously good conditions were had. There was no wind drift and boaty thermals were everywhere by the mid/end of day.
Good to see the crowd out.
