May weekend flying - 9th & 10th

Had a great weekend of flying last weekend. Went to Canungra Sat morning and we ended up going to Beechmont launch after talking to Enda. It was a bit too south and no one looked like they would get high enough to go cross country. We knew Leeroy was doing some aerotow tandems and we decided to go out to Boyland turf farm to get towed up. And as you can see from these photos, we were very glad we did. Big Trev, Reagan, Flocky, Tim, Bodie, Warren, Ant and myself all had grins at the end of the day.

Having a good day!

Two hours flying the canungra area from one tow was just awesome.

On Sunday we ended up on Mt Tamborine launch. It was very light and we waited a long time to launch. Eventually at nearly 1pm I launched. The lift was light and I got low a few times, but eventually climbed to over 5,000ft to cloud base. Then the lift seemed to improve and I flew around for over an hour eventually landing at the Model airfield with Ant, Ronald and Warren.

Two good days flying in Winter! How good is Canungra!

Over Tambo launch at around 5,200ft.

Flocky here too. He's a bit of a poser.

And again. I love this shot. Check out the larger version.
