WOW!


This morning we got a gift! A huge gift! Roy was wanting a lesson on thermalling. Brandt, Paul, and Chris wanted a sweet flight. Everyone got more than they dreamed.
We got to the hill and it seemed really soarable. I told Roy to get going before it got to out of hand for him. He went up and out and then up some more and more and more. I coached him a little and he was thermalling like an old hand in a few minutes. Chris and Paul were hot on his heals. Brandt and I in our hurried attempt to get up the hill over looked his helmet at the bottom of the hill. For those of you that don't know, Brant is the reason I am where I am today. When He said he had no helmet I was more than glad to lend him my helmet and watch the show. As an instructor and friend to all four pilots there is no better reward than watching great flying and hearing thier shouts of joy as they soared for an hour! It alll happened before 9 a.m. I think there may be somthing to this whole climate change thing.
