Friday 8/3/12 rides

David and his father Marlon aloft on a Hollister Hop ride:

After landing, David tries out the front seat:

Allie and Eric went higher and longer for their Mile High Mountain Ride:

It is the dry season now:

Here's what it looks like in the "wet" season:

The apricots drying in the sun:


After landing Allie gets in the front seat:

Frank wanted the Monterey Bay Acro Ride so I installed the "joy" stick in the rear cockpit so he could ride in the front seat and even take the controls to fly the glider himself.  We put parachutes on and towed to 8250' over the fog covering the bay:

We did a stall/spin, recovering in a dive, pulled the stick back to about 3 Gs to go up and over in a nice loop.  Tight turns, wing-overs and "hammerheads" gave Frank plenty to film!
