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. :D

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!!      :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
