Choose Your Flying Buddies Carefully

Early on in your flying career, you may choose one or more flying buddies to learn with, fly with, and have adventures with. It is important to choose carefully as you will have to live with the consequences for years to come. Me... I've been getting schooled for 6 years now.

Here's my landing from today. Low turn over the surf onto final. Seen it a million times. Booooring!

Various Kinds Of Crappy


After waiting hours for conditions to improve at Funston today, it finally looked good enough to soar and I took to the air. As soon as I left the ground all I could think about was landing as soon as possible. The air was bumpy, chunky, nasty. And it was hard to stay above the cliff.

After about 10 minutes I got high enough to top land and brought it in. Chris was walking his glider to launch and asked how it was. I told him it was various kinds of crappy. He gave me a thumbs up and off he went. 15 minutes later I was down at the beach helping him break down his glider and carry it back up.


Another day of ACP domination!
