Natalie and Charlie Rock the Hill

Natalie and I headed up to the Training Hill with Shabe early this afternoon and were joined soon afterwards by Charlie and then Rick and Heather.

The sky was chiefly overcast but bright as thermals continued to roll up the hill for the four hours or so that we were there. Natalie made HUGE advances in her training as she put in over 15 trainings flights, most of them reverse launches! You could really see how she was able to build on what she'd learned the day before at Dallas.

Charlie, meanwhile, was a training hill tour-de-force as he test flew the AIRWAVE Mustang 2 demo, making multiple turns on every flight.

Fresh off the instructor course, Rick spent time with his sweetheart, Heather, showing her some ground handling techniques.

And finally, Shabe got some nice kiting practice in as well as a few spring tune-up flights.
