Reese and Jade are the owners of these birds. Apparently Moni owners are a tight-knit bunch. Moni Motorgliders were introduced in 1981. Moni (later to be INAV) went out of business in 1986, leaving some 380 builders/owners in the lurch.

There were actually two sitting there to use. I took one up while Eric took these shots of me...


I think this is the Black Hills Forest National Park (SW of Devil's Tower). Can't be sure though...

The one thing I will say about these is that they're reeaalll tricky to land. It took a lot of work to get this one down.

Tank Gott for the wing wheels...

After that I was a bit tired. It was really something to turn the engine off and just listen to the air rushing by! Splash, you were right!!!
