Flying 4-11-09, Mission Peak

Turbulence seems to be the theme in Northern California the last couple weeks, and Mission Peak on Saturday was no exception. Nothing extreme, but some big bumps. To balance it out were some big climbs resulting in an exceptionally good day on the Mountain.

Looking back at Mission Peak from the South

Typical climb for the day was around 3,300' with a few to 3,700'. My best climbs were away from the hill. I always enjoy those kind of conditions as it opens up the flying site considerably when you don't need to follow the ridge.

The air was clear and the views of the bay spectacular

I flew until I had my fill
