HOLY SHIT WAS THAT AN AMAZING FLIGHT!!!!

I flew for 54 minutes yesterday, my longest ever flight by 4 times. My prior longest flight had been at Tekoa last year for a whopping 15.5 minutes. This blew that out of the water and was an absolutely incredible flight. I caught my first thermals, stayed in them, then found more lift on my own without help from the others. It was scary at times but for the most part I was more or less comfortable. My focus was on the lift and not on the exposure or the circumstances I was in, (ie hanging from a pillow and threads many hundreds of feet int the air...)

Great to hear! You can also have wonderful flights that only last 15 minutes.

I was too focused on chasing airtime at some point, when I met a van life hike and fly couple that joint the glide from the top of a norwegian mountain with me. The view was amazing. I was saddened that the flight was so short, but they where enthralled.

That tought me a thing.
