Oly 75 miles by Bill Belcourt

Oly - 75 miles. New site record set by Bill Belcourt on June 2nd, 2007. Launching at 1:30pm and landing at 7pm. Max altitude was 15,500 over Mt Nebo followed by the "death" glide to wherever Bill could milk his glider to (Levan). Those late onto launch missed the cycle and waited a long time before they got a crack at it. One pilot said that the early cycle was the only ride out of Olympus until way later.

Bill cracked it wide open and sent it the right way. Wish I had been there Bill. Nice!

Verga

The cloud kept getting darker and it got windy and we walked down, but not for another 2 hours more after this picture was taken. Besides being stubborn wee had high hopes to just be flying down. The smart way was down on foot, ouch.

Mobile blogging set up!

I just tested my new blogging tool. Now I can post from my phone! Pictures, videos and text. Look out! Armed and dangerous. Let the world know the blogathon begins.

Summer fun

Memorial Day is past and summer now swings into full swing. The lifts start running in Sun Valley on the first, so access to flying just got sweeter. As long as the wind and the weather cooperate we will get to spend a lot of time up in the sky. Don't be shy, be sure to drop in when your driving by.
