SO. CAL FLYING
Yesterday were my first flights in several weeks, after the gliderport
at Crysatal was shut down following the grim events of November 2008. I must say that it was really a "high" in several ways to be up in the glider again. After an uneventful solo test flight with a 2000' tow to make sure that I was not so rusty, I flew to the San Gabriel Mountains with a passenger. We encountered what Fred Robinson used to call the "bow wave" with a North wind, and climbed at 400 ft / minute over snow-covered Mt. Lewis. The pleasure to be at the controls again was enormous. I for one is very happy that the gliderport is operational again. Now for "real" thermal weather to begin. Cheers, Charles |
