Up Slope Flying

 

    

Slope flyers, March 21, 2004

Having been invited to experience a new side of soaring, Steve Fujikawa, Jim Prouty, Susan & Roger Edwards all bundle up in warm clothing, made their way out to western Maryland for one of the most memorable days in their lives to enjoy the raw power of the wind first hand.  Our only regret was not getting a photo of Susan flying that day !

Just for the record, the wind speed recorded on the ridge that day was a nominal 15 to 20 mph gushing upward to 30 mph, the air temperature was in the low to mid 40's (F). You figure out the wind chill, but it was lost in the all the excitement !
