Caution to the wind, here she goes!- Leo (@lfitz3) and Todd chatting it up prepping for some fun wind flying
- Looked kinda like an SR-71 Blackbird mated with a frog.
- Dropped the wings down in case the wind comes up while we are eating
- Todd departing KBVU for a few runs around the pattern in pretty big wind. I like the contrast here of the citation and the trike.
- This is a frame of video of my landing at Dirty Devil. It was an easy calm wind landing.
104 MPH ground speed-- Wind is blowing me quickly OFF shore.
I hoped I could duck down lower coming home and get out of these "helpful" winds-- but, they slowed me up a lot getting back across the channel- The wind picked up in the wrong direction, so I had to land between the trees at Mexican Mountain. This was not fun in the swirling thermally air. I stayed just above the tops of the trees until I reached the wide spot at mid-field, then plopped down.
