"Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return."

Sara's Powerless Flight School Project

Gerry's daughter Sara has the best school project ever, the project of powerless flight. Sara has already been tandem hang gliding, hot air ballooning and today I took her up for a sight seeing flight in California's Central Valley over Williams, CA (for purely scientific research) in the ASK 21. Below Sara and I immediately after takeoff.
A partially broken stratus layer over the center of the valley and unlimited visablitle above made for a spectacular view.
Of course I took Gerry up for a flight in the sailplane after Sara.
