Now those are really awesome photos! Shows how really pretty that area is up there. Looked like a great day to fly!

It was a lot sunnier on this day than the day before. So the pictures tend to look a lot better.

It was a great day, and I'm looking forward to another one today before returning to San Diego.

HAPPY FLYING ... AND DRIVING!

I just got an email message from Dave Beardslee's tandem passengers with a few photos from my launch yesterday:





In the last two photos, you can see my Flip video camera mounted on the right-hand washout strut. That's the perspective from which all the previous photos were taken.

It was a very good day!!
