I got the best flying day of the year today at Dog so far! Here is the video report of Monday (Mar 2nd )flight at Dog. Another great day!
Report from Ray:
Me too! 2 hours 19 minutes, max altitude 5784. Towers to Elk, down lake to cliffs, lift everywhere over lake too. At one point turned around before getting to Morton Airport while on Peterman ridge. Winds were mostly N at 11 to 17 at altitude but noticed NE at launch and landing altitudes later. Luckily got off launch just in time leaving Gabe and Kory scratching their heads. Jeff popped off sometime after I had been in the air an hour and another brave soul crashed their new U2 into the north launch trees. Robin ok, glider not. Observations said it was obviously too NE to launch. Awesome day for rigidwing when we have strong conditions such as these. The slim profile smooths out the strong lift. The bump in the weather Sunday night payed off, driving to SLC not necessary. Ray
