It was an adventure dive bombing Flagstaff with you in the 32 back in
87 or whenever it was. Great fun for a midwestern soaring novice.
Been chased by any tornados lately Gunnar?

Thanks Tony for dithering the image to obscure my inferior technique.

Gotta love that automatic out of focus feature.

It looks like the winds are going to be blowing pretty good. If there's
lift, it could be a great day for a downwind dash.

blipmaps are indicating that it should be good. boundary layer heights
in the 6000 foot range all afternoon. thermal strengths of nearly 400
fpm.

all my flights are downwind dashes
