We flew Otay under a huge black cloud | Not always a great idea | Turned out to be a great day of flying
I picked up @paleotreats at his house and we drove to the Mexico/US border. There were already some pilots in air when we got there.
This was going to be the first time that we have been able to fly in over a week.
The weather has not been good for flying.
Otay is the only site that takes a South direction well.
The only problem was that during the best time of the day to fly, it was very dark in the sky.
It started to clear up by the time I made it to the top.
@paleotreats launched first because he was on the launch before me.
In typical fashion, I launched through the bushes.
Once I got my self together, I wanted to see where Tony and the guys were going to launch from.
Charles yelled out at me, "Do a SAT bro!"
I replied " NO "
Lets go see where everyone else is flying.
When ever the sun came out, there were great areas of lift. The problem was that I couldn't get my speed bar out with my feet.
I had to go back and top land.
The landing was not smooth. The winds were gusting, and there was a small window on a down hill slop to make the landing.
Nevertheless I had a down safe landing. The rest of the guys stayed up. I packed up after my second flight.
It worked out for both of us. I had to hike out for about 30 minutes. And @paleotreats stayed in the air for about 30 minutes and landed near the cars.
In the video @paleotreats says that he landed on a dead body.
There was about 10 pilots at the parking lot.
I found Tony
Phil was there too. He brought a new wing.
We had a great day of flying!
