In Vail/ Aug. 24th, '08

Flying has been awesome in the Vail area. Wolcott and Bellyache have been giving it up for long soaring flights with some good heights.

With the unstable air due to the monsoon circulating moisture under the high pressure, Bellyache has had soarable conditions by 10 am yesterday and today.

Dan, a visiting pilot from Steamboat, had his personal best flying at Wolcott Friday, getting up to 16,000 and getting nausea to boot. But he still came in with a big smaile on his face.

Next weekend is the Steamboat fly-in over Labor day. This is a great end of summer bash, with hang glider and paraglider pilots having fun.

I will keep you posted as more significant flights happen here in the Vail area.

Cheers
