After getting up at 2:45am for my shift at the hospital, I was pretty tired by the time 3pm rolled around but the sun was shining, the crew was at the LZ and it was going to be the last opportunity to fly before Jeff and I short pack our gliders for the flight to Germany. I was pleasantly surprised to find most of my good friends either waiting for me or already heading up the hill with nice cumulous popping in the skies over Missoula. I flew mostly with O'brien and our very good friend, Chris Gibisch, racing around the local peaks, taking nice climbs and high speed glides while laughing our guts out. It's always a special day when you can ring up with your two best friends. It's funny, Jeff and Chris were talking smack on the radio at one point and I thought they were laughing out loud only to realize that it was me that was the one laughing. Good times indeed. This is a short clip from the flight yesterday. Still a rookie with i-movie and even worse at getting good footage but hopefully, by the time I get through this next trip the progress will be evident. At the end, O'Brien shows us all proper landing technique;-)
Cheers
