What it takes to make the milk run in the spring is drive, determination and a lil weather advice. Elvis makes a few appearances on launch as the seriousness of this flight consumes LP. He handles it, flies away and scores a huge day of flying high above the Wasatch @ 13,000ft. What a view. Shiznit like that can change your life.

Congrats to LP for finally sending it all the way!

Just another milk run?

King Mountain Spring Flying

Aldo & I went for a ride on Sunday, landing out short after 3+hrs at altitude and more then 40+ miles into what turned into an epic record day for a few lucky pilots. Special thanks to LZaction & Mel for their awesome retrieve. We flew on sat. too and it was over cast, but fantastic thermaling. Sunday cleared for bluish skys with puffys popping everywhere early. We launched around 12:30 after a couple of sledders for some. With a lucky save we went up to 13ish and began the down range flying that was more cloud streets, convergence lines and epic gliding. Rock-n-Roll & Rodeo Kung Fu dominated the day as big giant awesome lift kept it alive thru snow storms (lost count how many) a lil rain and epic bone chilling cold. Screaming barffies all around for anyone who was able to get past Borah. Special thanks to Aldo who played a perfect meat popsicle piece of ballest for me for longer then he should have. Where we went and what we saw is here in a few shots, special outtakesbecause we were both to cold to shoot too many pictures.



And Matt Keefe shot photos from launch. Hey is that Bad Bones smiling?

SLC League Meet CHANGE

The league meet for SLC has been changed to the last weekend in September. 28/29 The beauty of the league meet is it can change at the last moment to take advantage of the weather, which looks bad for this wekend. See you all there!

King Mountain IM League meet

King Mountain delivers! I watched the weather and knew I was missing some big action over in Moore, ID as the gang went to town and flew far amny times. After hearing the great reports from Sat. with such a great glass off and the stories of distance from Sunday's Big Southern Butte epic plus the forecasted Monday weather. It was obvious I was driving to KING late on Sun nite or early Mon morning. I am glade I did as the winds were just right, with promised hights of 18,000ft, altough we never got there. We did come close. Along the Lost River Mountain range we flew, epic views and easy retrieves are just a few of the reasons to love flying KING. Cheers to all who made it for a flight or two, cheers to Mike who drove lots and to Neil our thoughts are with you as you heal.

Wet Idaho

It is raining in SV today, which is a good thing, if you have been watching the fire that has burned up our summers end here in Sun Valley you understand that for 2 & 1/2 weeks we have been under smoke and threat of flames. Finally we can say it is over. Our little national disaster has disipated. Fall colors have also popped and the temps have dropped. Schools back in session and fall is fully here. With winter around the corner it will be easy to move on after being nearly burned out.



Here are some good links from the fire.
