My granddaughter Avery's ride

Granddaughter Avery, 15, visiting from FL, got a ride in the BASA DG-505 yesterday.  Her older twin brothers had rides in a Grob 103 and the Schweizer 2-32.  We donned parachutes for some limited acro.  She liked the loop and wingovers.  Over the east hills we saw one eagle down low but we were a little too early for the thermals.  We could see the receding fog bank over the Monterey peninsula as well as the snow atop the Sierras.

 Ready to launch:

 Getting "high in the sky"!

   Who's giving whom a ride?

She liked the looks of a friends' Citabria:

 And she"supervised" a club member assembling a Pegasus:

 All under the watchfull eyes of our local burrowing owl!
