Eric did three tandems and a solo flight in the hot, high-pressure conditions.

The first flight was Scott:

Next was Davis:

And finally Jeanette:

He then took the big tandem Falcon for a solo flight, drifted with lift 3-4 miles southeast, flew back and hooked another one, got back up to 5000' and flew out to land near the landfill. XC in a tandem Falcon, who woulda thought?

We were all pretty hot and wrung out by noon so we broke down and headed home, glad to be in the shade and the Suburban's A/C.

As always, successful tow ops require a good crew. Thanks to Dave Bishop and Allen Housel for their help.
