Greg, Chad and I went up to skyport. Chad said he had watched the flag blow down hill all morning. On our way up the flag was blowing up... good sign. I was first to launch at or near 12:30. Good cycle but could not climb up at very high, 162' above launch. All the development was low and out front. When I headed out front there was not much to hang your hat on. Landed at Parma 20 min later. Took my truck back up and Hans came along for the ride. He ended up driving my vehicle back. Second flight was much better. Nothing spectacular but better. I was able to get 650'above launch. Went over to the TF but not much cooking there. Again back to Parma after enjoying the view very much, although hazy. It's was sweet being "back in the harness again" after two weeks of keeping my feet on the ground.
