It was blowing a hoolie as the faithful gathered. Fortunately it was a 270 degree hoolie straight down the runway so DMX was wheeled down to the far end. More than one glider would have been too much of a handful as far as ground handling was concerned.
There was quite strong thermal activity but the wind strength made it challenging to exploit the energy. What better time for more seasoned pilots to learn a few soaring tricks from the master and for the ab initios to experience flying at the more extreme end of the flying range. Everybody had their fill of flying.
It was nice to get back to the clubhouse and out of the wind for a relaxing beer at the end of the day.
