spring pre-dawn

Thursday brings us the first glimmer of spring, the promise of sun and a decent wind brings a good crowd of fliers to the hill. Unfortunately the Goodwind camera is not in attendance, so here's a reconstruction of a few of the highlights

the crowd




the superb thermals


Jason enjoys the Sigma....












Deryck enjoys some low passes





Paul's been enjoying some lead fumes




We all enjoy Gary's Habicht
