Headed to Highland very early to practice more spot landings. Maybe camping Saturday night. Anyone else going?

Thanks, nice to me you too!
Great day and superb lift at Highland today. Little wind and almost perfect conditions. Some pilots flew as long as they wanted and I had also a great flight. Much better than first forecast. Knut

Re: Ridgely 9/20
Awesome day! Two flights, two hours. Bald Eagles. Multiple climbs to cloud base 3.7K, a few thermals to the Choptank, and back to the other side of the town. I just wanted to practice LANDINGS damnit. My arms were so tired I just let the thermals have their way with me as long as I was still climbing. Time to review video. My first landing was good, but my second landing sucked with a nose pop and wonky wheel landing. I may be an eternal H2.
The morning crop dusting airshow extravaganza was wild! They were working the fields around the airport and kept us grounded.

Correction, "I just wanted to practice landings dammit." Awk. Buy the way, it looks like the farmers are starting to harvest corn which could provide more landing areas for next week's out and return contest.

Climbing back to cloudbase on the other side of town. Airport directly ahead.
