Wow that must be a lot of fun.  Not bad at all for a cell phone cam.

Nice shots. One question though, I thought that gliding at sunset was a no no. Seems to remember that you have to be down 1/2 hour before sunset  (learnt the hard way many many years ago that at 8000 feet and a setting sun equates to a dark landing whilst leaving a trail of well pressed 10 pence pieces down the approach :o............And a one way conversation without a coffee or beer with my CFI :-[

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
