A quick flight report of thursday. windy from the west kung fu choppin to 4500
or so in the altenator zone with flyaboveall crew. Jim W. was varioless and way
above everyone the whole time. the highlight was a first mountain flight student
of chris'. this girl was fired up! on the way up she just kept saying she was
nervous, then excited, then chatty about how high we were drivin. when we pulled
over to show her the lz she ran out of the van jumping up and down and screaming
with excitement!!! awesome! she got all of us all fired up to huck off! made it
feel like my first time! super cool seeing her excitement and great attitude.
she did awesome and even soared for a while.
Friday almost repeat crew to altenator with fly above all. i sloppily flung my
in a hurry carcass off right when we got there and shot straight up to 4500.
some west wind so bopped my panties down a few points and hit 5200 at RR. turned
around at thermal factory and got over 5 a few more times with lots of wind in
my face and got to painted cave with 3600. lots of NW spilling through the pass.
Out to my van at the T and on the ground at 12:25. Everyone was skyed out and i
mean skyed out!! jim m. skyed out his sailor tandem passenger, and cormac took a
few folks on the mecca journey across the points and out to the beach. Beautiful
day to jump off a mountain!
from the 101 on my way back to work, i caught a glimpse of Andy sliding into
romero from castle to join up with a hang dangler(willy?). from nuthouse i take
it??!! nicely done dawg!! that crispy new white sheet over your head sure makes
you fly good ;)
