I think you're right. It might have reminded you of your ballooning days ... up, up, and away!
It might have been too strong for the Condor early in the day, but it would have been perfect later as the wind settled down.
I was happy to see the NWS forecast being accuate!!

I wonder how many people can say Greg helped teach them to hang glide?
And he also taught a number of us HOW to teach our OWN students to fly. There's a magnifying effect there.
An unforgettable person!

Greg had influences over today's flights
Tues., De. 12, 2017.
Here is one of today's flights:

Bob Kuczewski and Joe Faust flew the Alpha 219 in wind of 1 to 4 mph.
It was a special pleasure to land on footprints of seagulls.

Beautiful flight. But it is an Alpha 210 not 219.
Remember, I'm an engineer - accuracy in all things.

Thanks, yes, the Alpha 210.
Add the 9 square feet of my body: 210+9=219 system.

No wonder you can run so well, with nine feet that are square!
