Good to see everybody out there today.  We had Eaglets getting first high flights both Saturday and Sunday, and a few of them today got to soar on their first high flights.  A fully loaded Eagle van pulled out of Parma just after 9:30 and dumped a group at EJ, and then drove back to Skyport to launch Eaglets on first high flights, and do a couple tandems.  It was working all day at Skyport, and it sounds like Faoro hooked his strongest thermal ever there today.  All the new P2’s were boating around in the lift at Skyport before heading to Parma.  Brian Howell was even making the Antenna Farm and Rock work with a decent sized tandem passenger.  I watched Marite get up at Skyport and ping pong back an forth between the Factory and Double R a bunch.  I climbed out from Skyport with my tandem (thanks for the help on launch Ron), and we hooked up with Blake, Malcolm, Marite, and OJ at the factory.  OJ is sporting some new colors up there, and that wing pops!  We thermalled a bunch with that crew then made a glide for the beach, landing in a 10-15 MPH SW.  Super fun day, and I love it when it lines up on a Sunday!  I saw Andy D., Chris Paul, and Dave Turner heading east.  Where did you end up boys.?  How about you SD?  Great way to start off our first weekend of flying in 2014.
