Thank you, Mike. Relevant content is sorely needed here.

All it all it was a wonderful confluence of events to have my brother in
town, to have such a great wave day, and to have a club two-seater
available for our use for over three hours (club limit is 1 hour if
anyone else is waiting to use it). I got to show my brother something
he'd never experienced before and give him new motivation to finish his
glider training, and I got to enjoy a wonderful day in wave for myself
as well.

What a great day indeed!

I remember the first flight I provided to a friend who was very afraid
of flying (and was trying to get over it). The conditions combined to
make an extremely smooth flying day (weather-wise) and he enjoyed the
flight a great deal - which made it a terrific flight for me as well.



For those interested, pictures can be had he

Commentary and constructive criticism are most welcome. Non-constructive
criticism of the type seen recently shall be met with great vengeance
and furious anger.

Well, or just ignore them :-) *I think of them as unruly children who
don't get enough attention from their parents.

The operative word for that class is "ignoranus". It bothers me that
some (supposedly) adults will act that badly to gain attention. It
doesn't say much for their egos, but this is not a forum for the
psychologically needy, it's for pilots.
