Coming back from what must have been a fun ride out over the ridge...
I had to circle back so we could follow it's progress. The video is shaky but it was a beautiful thing to watch.
The zoom-out sequence gives you a better idea of our relative position...
Between the convective activity, the NW wind tumbling over the ridge west of the field, and the abundnce of powered and unpowered traffic, I decide to definitely not land there.
No loss, really- it was not part of today's plan, and besides, I've been there: took my intro ride there, over ten years ago, in a Tomahawk.
The big S-bend in the Delaware River, near the town of Bushkill.
This is a beautiful place to fall in love with flying- especially on a fine spring day.
Next: what goes up must come down...
