billscottni:
wish we'd had the weather to get out half as much as you did  :(  :!:

Happy Days:
Good to see there has been some activity in your neck of the woods Sverrir.

Tell me, do you do much thermal gliding in Iceland?  Sounds like a contradiction, thermal, & Iceland   but you seemed to be succeeding with it.

If it's any concelaction Bill this was the best weather by far in weeks if not months!

Me and you both Keith! As long as we have difference in ground and air temperature we can get thermals,
they don't tend to be particularly strong in the winter but they are there when the conditions are right.
The main problem is the heavy wind tends to blow them away in the summer!   :lol:

You can easily stay up for more than an hour after noon in the summer time.

Here is just over 17 minutes, edited down of course, of thermaling last summer,
I came down to tow my mate up and he spent another 20 minutes hanging about until he came down for a flight on his aerobatic plane.

Happy Days:
Rather adventurous bit of flying there Sverrir :D  A double loop!  :clap: You little rascal you!

 Pity about the kangaroo landing though..........Never mind, I wont tell anyone if you don't :wink:

Well done,.......
