ISR Glide-in - 30 - 31st of May - Mt Leinster
Fred:
Me too !
Coffee right now, almost ready to go :D
Good wind in Dublin this morning, hope to have the same at ML! :D
Happy Days:
Well, that was a very interesting day :D Always nice to meet up with like minded people, even if they do arrive late. :( But we wont hark on about that :!:
The wind blew (for some of the time), and we all did "The Funky Thermal" :lol:
My little camera couldn't handle all that sun light when in movie mode. So I only have snaps shots of the day.
Talking of thermals, they certainly lift the models, like they were on an escalator!
[list=][/list]
This is Tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dee
Fortunatly the wind went round to the south for some of the day, other times it went very slack :(
This is Layback Pete (Cool Dude) enjoying the rays
Ralph was very Rude, (Rude Ralph we'll call him from now on.) Fancy sticking his tounge out at me! I don't know where it's been :shock:
When the wind dropped Fred resulted to desperate measures. On his knees to plead with the model to fly :roll:
Likeable Les enjoyed the sunshine and the flying. Said he found flying his "Gental Lady" a bit demanding when the wind got up though.
Some of the spectators who wandered over for a look-see found it all much too exciting..........and fell asleep :shock:
Brian, a man who enjoys 'serious power,' was in a particularly serous mood when flying his 4 Mtr plane. Just look at the expresion on his face :wink:
So all in all a better day than I'd expected. Lets hope for more times like it. :D
Keith
Fred:
Good evening everyone :D
Well, what a day!! :D One of the best sloping day I had for a very long time! Love the "thermo-Dynamic" conditions like that!
Thanks to Ralph and Les for coming from Cork :clap: Always good to see you guys!
So, here a few photos (of all the gliders at the slope...) and that's pretty much it! I have a 3 minutes video... Spent lot of time flying!
Recorded almost 5hrs on the radios! (spent 8 hours on the slope..)
Now, photos!
Arrived at 10am :oops: and went up at 10h30, two 4mtrs on my back, and a 2m in my hand...Ready to rock and roll! :D
Horses on the NE slope...
Keith with a big smile.... Mean good wind! :P
Peter
Alpina and asw22...
That was the view alll day! Blue sky all around!
Ralph and Les
Brian's Alpina
Romantic moment... Beautifull.. :P
More and more machines!
And now, all of them...
Another view of the slope and the pilots ( 8 Pilots for the day)
Brian's Alpina during a low pass... We had a bit of a low pass moment all of us at some point! Definitive winner for the nice scream, is Ralph and the Dragon! Sound like a jet!! :D
Joe, during a DS attempt... Had a good laugh :P :P
And to finish with the flying session.. A last look at the horses :P
Again again again again!!
.
Happy Days:
Very good Fred :clap: but where's the 3min. footage :?:
joe:
Brilliant day!
Big thanks to Ralph and Les for traveling to join us. Laying on the slope in a t-shirt flying, well is doesn't get much better than that :D :D :D
Thanks for sharing the photos lads.
More days like that please!
