[grunge155]

Nice vid, weldone good flight!

[NMERider]

@grunge155 Thanks! I hope I can repeat this flight one day.

I heard of Little Lukens also being called Camel's Back, both names are unofficial and never appear on maps as MT. Lukens itself does. A great video.

Rudy Hermanto.

[NMERider]

@rheon78 Thanks Rudy!

[guill3rmo]

I will have to get one of these Falcons...

[NMERider]

@guill3rmo I don't fly mine nearly enough.

[jerrysimoo]

Keren bos, mantap banget!

[NMERider]

@jerrysimoo  Terima kasih!

[NMERider]

@shorbmountain Good luck in your forthcoming soaring endeavors!

[NMERider]

@shorbmountain The gyroscopic effect of tight turning helps overcome the turbulence. I'm really not that good. ;-)

[wrcummings]

This is a great video NME! Good edit too. Love the trace. Love the music! I'm still smiling!!

Good flight, well done video, looks just like 20 years ago when I was flying it.

[NMERider]

Thanks. Come on out with your Airchair and we'll get 4 of us to hand launch you off of Kagel.

Cheers, Jonathan USHPA 1550

Beautiful, Bodacious, Billow-Cruiser!

[NMERider]

A veritable parachute with ribs!

[deslightfly]

Excellent job. Great promo for the Hero HD camera. I suspect I will have to get one. What GPS do you use? Keep posting! Des

[NMERider]

Thanks. That camera is very handy. I have a Flytec 6030. Cheers, Jono

[luismm10]

Amazing.!!! you sure know how to cross country that Falcon, Lol

[NMERider]

We have 5 or 6 very aggresive Falcon XC pilots in our league so there is good competition. Most of us fly high performance gliders too. You really have to work hard for every mile you can squeeze from the Falcon but you can land places you would never take a topless glider. So there is that advantage.

[cotelebro]

Your the man NME, please keep up the posts! Great to watch and learn. You're making us TX pilots drool over that terrain, beautiful!

[NMERider]

My pleasure! I hope to continue and offer as many vistas as I can.

[marcorazza]

Great flight, great music, great video! makes me dreaming! congrats!

[NMERider]

Glad I could share our local flying.

Ciao!  Jonathan

[CDickFly]

[NMERider]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

[donliddard]

Great video , the inclusion of the gps log data, is an excellent idea - how do you do it ???

[NMERider]

Thanks. I use SeeYou by Naviter for the 3D track and capture it using Fraps.

[BungaEBiker]

Great job John, you da man. I actually watched this one and didn't run and hide.

[NMERider]

Thanks. LOLOL

[tomlanning]

Time to pack my bags for California!

[NMERider]

John Mayall would be glad to join you.

[rolan]

nice vid. enjoyed this one.

[NMERider]

Thanks! Would have been a great day for PGs. Wish you were there.

awesome....we do not need so much performance, when we can climb so high and then get so far on such a noble glider as a Falcon!!

[NMERider]

Thanks JP.
