Lynn and her mother-in-law, Salena, chose a day with great conditions as we had a nice cold front come through and flush out the old dirty air! Nice cloud formations together with lift in the unstable air made for longer and more beautiful flights as well. Lynn was first to fly:

We saw a passing rain shower over southeastern Hollister:

A birthday-present acrobatic ride to Monterey Bay was next on this beautiful day:
Here's the birthday-ride couple after landing with the present-presenter in the front seat for a nice photo-op:
