Re: Pulpit, Monday 11/27
Good day! Made possible by Richard (bustedwing2) and Larry (our Pulpit neighbor). Richard arrived just after the predicted 2 pm drop in wind speed appeared and Larry offered to retrieve. Takeoff from the pad was intense with 15 mph winds gusting to the high teens. The rest of the late afternoon flight was a pleasure with solid ridge lift/thermal conditions. Landed in a large field just south of the Lemar Elementary School. Blue skies coupled with the late afternoon lighting resulted in ideal photo conditions. Here are some of the better ones plus the flight track.
