Scheduled Fly - June 15, '02
A very unusual day in the Carolina Piedmont - we actually had wind and
pleasant temps in the 80's! At times it blew hard; then it would quit and
everything came down at the same time. There was a pretty impressive display
most of the day - a 252 with a rainbow streamer tail and red, white and
blue flag streamers for line laundry, a large delta with a bunch of flying
elephants, a Merlin GFAK special edition dragon, a rok with ground laundry
sewn onto the flying line, a flowform 60 with more rainbow streamers, several
beach balls that filled and bounced (and one that didn't) and a large genki
with tube tails. Between trips to relaunch everything, Stu entertained
us by practicing flying two stunters at the same time. He did real well
for his first try at it.
The genki from Nebraska was real friendly and active today, too. So
friendly, in fact, that it messed with every kite in the air except Merlin.
Somehow I find it hard to believe it never did that in Nebraska.
