Pig? Blah!.. Wild Boar!

September 25th, 2007

Hoping for a similar day to the day before. Dave, Deb and I head to Pig once again.

Today the the wind is from the North and quite a bit stronger.

We launched. We got beat up and we landed. A exciting flight. We both managed a few circles in the rotor but neither of us had the feeling that this was a flight that was worth perusing. Two safe landings though I missed the bombout.

Off to Spring in the afternoon for possibly the most sedate air we’ve had this season. A nice relaxing flight after this morning’s excitement.

This first photo shows the great respect Dave has for these sort of conditions.

    So it was you goons – I was riding my pushie around Uriarra the other day when I spotted a couple of white triangles on top of Pig. My mate asked, “so when are they going to take off??” I took one look at the 90 degree strong winds and said, “don’t hold your breath!”
    Looking forward to catching up with you guys soon as I get my wing back.
    Scott.
