Coupla guys stopped by for lunch in this very slick '47 Navion.
I managed to get three flights in from the back seat- first "victim" was newly-minted CP-G Andy (who kindly let me fly the tow and landing approach, LOL), then Jeremy, who just did his first power solo but is preparing for his PP-G, and our very own James T. finally got his well-deserved ride (although conditions were so flat by then that I didn't have time to let him fly it).
Flying from the back presents some interesting challenges (like seeing where you are going, and basically being hunched over), but I did OK. It also has benefits- like your very own window, where you can stick your elbow out in the breeze.
So quiet in the glider, I heard this train's horn as it approached the crossing. This window comes in handy for photography...
After clawing my way to 3000 from a 2500-foot tow (conditions were not as good as they appeared), I let Jeremy take it, and he did a great job of finding some brutal sink.
