Yesterday was the last scheduled day of the soaring season on the hill. Pictured below is one of our pawnees hooking up to a 2-33. My Blanik L33 solo is tied out all the way to the right of the picture. I took it apart today and put it in the box.
It was also a great local day, the ridge was working and we found thermals to 4500' msl. At one point we were running the ridge at 85 kts and going up at 6 kts!
Ship #6 was working the ridge a little lower, caught them here over our emergency field. It's about 800' lower than our field, and about 2000' long.
Now the season is behind us, I'm working on my instrument rating.
