First flight at Williams 2010

It was a great day. First flight on my new to me U2-145 and was real happy with it's performance. I would have had some great video if I had remembered to turn the camera on :-(

Trashy air right after take off turned me into the Aspen trees near launch. Almost needed a new pair of underwear for the ride home. Had trouble zipping up my harness - probably had tree branches stuck in the zipper. Air was smooth from 11,000ft and above. Steve F, Rick M, John C, Tim S, Leif and myself all had great flights. I think Tim made it to 16,000ft and Leif stayed up the longest. A fun day :-)
