That must be awesome with the only sound being the wind. The view has to be simply spectacular. :)

Very nice. I didn't get to fly Sunday or today; these pics are making me itchy. ;D

What's with the yaw string, there- something wrong with your right foot?  ;)  :D

Hehe! :P I was waiting for someone to mention that!..... Nah... it's just bad drills!  :-[ ::) I had been on my flying scholarship a week or two before so I was used to having a heavy right foot flying powered aircraft...  ;D :P


Yeah, but... the string in these pics is demanding more right rudder...  ::)

OK, I'll stop now. ;D

I must say, winch gliding is quite amazing. Cadets here use the Switezer 2-33A (I butchered the spelling). Not quite the performer yours looks to be, but I love it to death. Excellent pictures!

Pffft! I can assure you Vikings are not quite the performer they look!  :P They were good.......... about 20 years ago. Today they're all right... They do the job.... and you can have a bit of fun doing it! :)
