    There is something special about the winter light.

     

    Had a delicious 3-hour flight today, got above cloud base (always a treat), and flew with several eagles.

    Allo Kurt, thanks for sharing with us these magic moments, on some occasions we see the ground and look pretty rugged terrain, where is this location? Fly safely André

    Thanks.

     

    Had another soaring day yesterday… I was the only human aloft. 

     

    It was an ideal application of the Carat, as bases were pretty low and an out-and-back was not possible w/o a motor glider or a retrieve.

    Kurt, cool video! This camera is awesome, and you certainly have some spectacular areas to capture with it in the Western US. No eagles here, and no cloudbase either, still 4-5 weeks to go till the first usable thermal days.
