Sandy got Keith a birthday ride gift certificate and he wanted to take her along so we used the only glider type in the world that can take three people, the Schweizer 2-32:
We released from tow at 4750' over Henrietta Pk. in the Diablos about 7 miles east of the Hollister airport looking down into the Quien Sabe Valley:
The Sierra Crest with the snow capped moutains was clearly visible over the San Joaquin Valley. We were unable to use any thermals as the sea breeze had already kicked in but the glide back to the airport was very enjoyable and I gave them some excitement with an aggressive landing!
