On Saturday there were weak thermals up to about 4500 feet. It was cold, and the ground crew retired to the clubhouse with Skip still in the air. No one really knows when he landed.
The visibility on Sunday was nearly infinite. We made ten sightseeing flights and a few managed to stay up. Kevin and Tom H entertained the spectators by making low saves directly over the airfield. We flew right up to sunset, which made for some interesting challenges with the afternoon sun shining directly down the runway. Here are some pictures:
And yes, that is Jason in 3J, making a late afternoon landing. Congratulations, Jason, on a new type for your logbook.

And that's Jon Grudem, our newest member (we had two this last weekend of the season!), taking in some pointers on his first of two instructional flights today.

Those glass ships sure do look better with the gear up.
