A Mt

Post by Eric » Tue Nov 03, 2009 6:11 pm

The A was good today!

John l. launched me around 12:45, I flew for about half an hour.
A couple of low saves, a couple of redtails to spot thermals out on the cliffs. Several climbs above the top,a few passes on the east and south side- big fun for a little hill. Light conditions nice thermals! Great fun circling tight in the Falcon II climbing!
( As Bucky always said " It`s a shame to waste sick leave when your sick " )

Thanks- John for the help.

Terrific.

Plus, given Saturday and today, I expect I know who you'll be nominating for Pilot of the Month.

Great video Eric,

For a small mountain site, "A" looks like a blast. I reminds me of a small site in Toronto where we flew back in the early 80's. You pilots in Tucson have it made and I don't know if I can wait until April to come back. To make matters worse, it snowed in Ottawa today.

Cheers Tom
