June Sunset1

It had blown strong all day and the usual suspects had launched and gone over the back. It looked way to rough in the LZ for me so I waited for it to mellow. Finally at about 6:30 PM the winds in the LZ started to abate and so a few of us took off. It was still blowing pretty hard, as much as 26 MPH at 2500 feet. All you could was just park and enjoy the view. You couldnt really go anywhere because it was blowing to hard, still I worked my way a few miles north of launch and back.

This video starts after about an hour of flying. I think the white glider is Gary the new guy. After making a few passes on Gary, I pull in and head out to descend into the LZ.

Nice flying man. I am going to my first ever lesson there at Ellenville tomorrow to learn gliding. How long have you been flying? That sunset must've been spectacular from up there.

Yes it is great to see the sunset when flying. Good luck with your lesson. Dont get discouraged because it seems harder than it looks. Its worth the effort to climb that training hill over and over. Once you get to the mountain you will never have to climb that hill again ;-) It will take several lessons, but you should be at the mountain soon. Let me know when you are going for your first mountain flight and I will be there to meet you in the LZ.
