Another cold flight

We got to go up today for about an hour and it was some really nice flying weather. Kiwi and I went up the first time, but bumpy winds and radio problems brought us down after only about 5 minutes of flying. After the radio problem was fixed we went back up and, by than the wind had almost vanished. We both flew out of Joes Funny Farm and had a very smooth flight. I just buzzed around near the house and made one touch and go at Jerry Claytors house. He came out and while I was on approach and we talked for a bit by radio and than it was time for me to head back before it got to dark to fly. Kiwi got some neat video of him flying over his brother-in-laws house while his brother-in-law filmed him from the ground. I will try to post some of his videos, but for some reason I am still having problems being able to get them to post on the blog. I have to go back to work tomorrow, but I believe everyone else is going to take advantage of the weather and try to get some more flying in.

Cold day for flying

We were able to fly yesterday at Joe's, but it was a little chilly after getting up. I was fine all over except for one place, and that was my little toes. I forgot my boots and only had on thin tennis shoes and let me tell you by the time I landed my feet were froze like a block of ice. Kiwi(John) and Chris also came over to fly and we had a very smooth flight. We all flew around an hour yesterday afternoon even though it was opening day for rifle season. I stayed up pretty high so I wouldnt tempt any angry hunters to shoot me out of the sky. I even set a new personel height record by going just above 4000 feet. Hopefully we will be able to get up in the air a little more often due to the weather finally starting to cooperate w/ us.

Finally new pics

Sorry it has been so long since I put a new post up, but haven't had much time lately for flying. These were taken a couple months ago by John(Kiwi) flying out of Rowell International. The one of the chute coming in is me shooting a touch and go at Joes. The other one is of Hales Ford Bridge Kiwi got at Smith Mountain Lake. We are all itching to get back up and maybe the weather will cooperate w/ us and give us some good flying weather. I will try to get a some new pics soon and keep the blog updated as soon as I get some new shots.
