So many great memories of hanging out and flying with many of you,
at Winter Haven, Seminole, Bermuda High, Nephi, Ionia, Uvalde, and
of course the Fitchburg Gliding Club. Special memories:
At Bermuda High in South Carolina:
Flying an entire task in wave, watching all the tiny gliders way
down there and laughing so hard I had trouble flying:

Skirting a T-storm to squeak home:

Flying my new ArcusM around a Nephi task at 103.97mph and just
beating Uys Jonker. Used 3 thunderstorms plus a convergence line!
Introducing a few folks to high-performance soaring in the ArcusM,
at Fitchburg and during contests at Nephi, Ionia, and Uvalde.
Eyes as big as dinner plates from the intro during the above
flight at Nephi!
Happy New Years all,
Best Regards, Dave "YO"
