Re: Colo pancakes @ Chaparral

Fun video! Good thing Jim had wheels! That Dragonfly looks like a blast to fly! That glider looks impressive, long way from my early standard rogollo, UP Axis and WillsWing HPAT days.

Another atta boy Moose. Can't say I'm completely sorry I missed it; 73 in AZ is pretty nice. We had 9 Huskies and 1 SC yesterday lined up in the desert; just flying around.

Kurt, more AZ flying. Three Huskies on the right were leaving after a breakfast run and encountered the other seven planes (Utah buds-1 SC + 6 Huskies) just arriving for lunch at Francisco Grande- golf course resort that doesn't mind airplanes landing in the field next door.

Last pic- Huskies and SC at Motown, home of the infamous "Arizona Flying Circus" which BTW takes place this weekend.
