Glider and booster begin separate lives.



Booster under chute.



Glider begins life on its own.



Slight thermal.



A turn to the east.



Perfect path.



Another thermal. After this it disappeared behind the roof of the shelter.

I don't think I do. Not naming names, but someone broke a wing off when they were unpacking it on Saturday. I got busy with range duty right after I took the pics and never got the chance to get back over to the tent.

AMISH internet ?
Both the speed and cutting edge technology of a horse-drawn carriage.
All barn-raising videos with people in hideous clothing all-the-time.
Now that thar's funny and I don't care who you are !
