ISR Glide-in - 30 - 31st of May - Mt Leinster

<< < (6/8) > >>

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.
