Flight #99

13 November 2023 • Andy Jackson Training Hill • Hang I - Beginner

Huge milestone today! Flew my own Falcon 195 off the 75' training hill at Andy Jackson and did great in little to no wind! It was blowing maybe 2mph to 4mph. I had 3 successful launches and landings. They were all great flights, no problems whatsoever. The second flight was quite turbulent, but I handled it without any issues. My landing was a little sketchy and I almost whacked on the second flight, but I reminded myself to keep the nose up and saved it. The third flight was really good and I managed to skim the ground and do a slight flair as Tim had explained. Gene and Sandy were impressed I walked the glider up the hill 3 times. I now have around 15 successful flights from the 75' Andy Jackson training hill.
