When I arrived home yesterday with the task of short packing my T2C for the flight to Germany, I found a crate with a long awaited tool inside. I have been extremely excited to get started on an new direction in life and this was a key that I needed to allow the next step toward that direction to happen.
Carbon on the brain;-)
After a nice session short packing with Jeff, we were both satisfied with how well our gliders were protected for the journey. We decided to take a break and to grab some food. On our "lunch break" I received a call from our close friend, Chris Gibisch who told me that he had just flown his WW T2 across a section of mountains that had not previously been jumped to a LZ at the base of the Bitterroot Mountains not far from my house. We jumped in Jeff's truck and entered his coordinates into the NUVI to go find him. When we got there, we found Chris and another local pilot (Brian Stubes) breaking down happily in a nice LZ. It was a cool way to end the evening seeing two friends that had just realized a goal and seen new adventure in their hang gliders. Their energy was tangible. Good on ya boys!
