[Amigo] > [Stan's flight index]
Stan from CSS We made a quick weekend trip to the Owen's this past weekend. Scott and I flew while George chased. I had a really nice time running down the Sierra's, nice thermals and mellow cumi's. The only problem was that my radio jumped off frequency right at the beginning and I had no radio for the whole flight. George and I had discussed the cell phone option early, so I kept flying. I got to 16,500 at Birch Peak and crossed the valley to Black. I arrived at a comfortable 8700' and climbed to 11,200 before flying over to the Flynn's LZ for about 65 miles. I knew I had cell phone coverage there along with a shade tree and cool water to dangle my feet in just in case the retrieve took awhile. George picked me up and we followed Scott on to Janie's giving him a 102 mile flight. Sunday sucked. I thought I had the radio problem figured out, but after suiting up and hooking in, I couldn't get the damn thing to transmit. Hot, sweaty and frustrated along with a dead battery in George's cell led me to give it up, so I broke down. Scott didn't get very far anyway, landing just north of the Alabama's. Great fun for a short trip. Thanks again, George.
