Last Saturday

[Richard Hays]

Congratulations to Glen Hardy for receiving his H-1 rating on "No Name Hill"
on Saturday. Glens' been working really hard to get his rating and it
finally paid off.

Winds were SSE to SE all day with an occaisional shift to SW. No-Name hill
faces predominately South so...we had to wait for cycles. But the hill is
wide open as is the LZ and we were able to get some good flying in.

This was the first outing on this site and it seemed to work very well. So
far we seemed to impress one of the neighbors ( former airplane pilot ) and
he invited us to park in his driveway to prevent having to walk some
distance to the setup area. So far so good there. To promote good will, I
walked around during breaks and picked up road related trash that had found
its' way into the field.

This site rivals some of the best training hills I've ever had access to.
With proper care, it could be a big plus for Baltimore area pilots and my
school, as it is only 30 minutes from my shop. As usual....we have to limit
access until relations are established.
