See my another blog Soaring Search Engine. If you want to know about Soaring Search Engine. Thursday, August 12, 2010. The first flight of the season. Flew LS8 for 25 minutes at Williams. I haven't flown it for nearly 10 months, so just did a local flight to 2,500 ft. The glider was fine, but the trailer was really dusty, so had it washed and waxed. Lots of new homes were developed near the gliderportsince I flew last time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Gliding and National Parks Trip 2009.
