We didn’t get to fly here last time. What a beautiful place! Wonderful folks, too.
Tim and I launched late. Poor Tim got the short end of the wind stick: a tailwind after he setup. His launch was brilliant but, by then, it had gotten bumpy. Not by soaring standards but it wasn’t the glassy goodness we enjoy under power.

I may get in some hang gliding if their student load allows and maybe even a sled ride off the hill. We’ll see.
It’s nice to start off an Enterprise trip with flight. Light and variable sucks. I waited probably several minute and finally launched with a light crosswind then proceeded to run at least as fast as I’ve ever run before. Thankfully they’ve got a beautifully manicured runway that made it easy.
Evening
I did 2 free flights off the 250 then 450, two more paramotor flights and went for two hang glider flights with Josh. My last paramotor launch wound up getting tripped up over a burm for the runway that I didn’t see. Bummer. Tim enjoyed a beautiful evening glassoff.
