fergs 0 #1 October 27, 2004 Although I only managed the first 4 days of the Equinox Boogie, I had 10 days worth of fun. Day 2, sunset load had one slot left, so I took it. We took off just as the sun was disappearing behind the horizon and then raced to 14,000. I was beside the pilot and so had a great view of the now-growing susnet all the way up. Run-in was 270 so we were running straight into it. It was one of those really pretty sunsets, with fingers of cloud across the face of it. I got out much shorter than usual - and spent the majority of the flight flying my S-3 directly into the sunset. The sunset seemed to swallow me up into itself. Wow, what visuals!! Wow, what a jump!! After landing I had huge goose-bumps for hours. Life is good! Spread the love! fergbird Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites BGill 0 #2 October 28, 2004 That is so amazing Fergs. I really wish I could make it out to Equinox... oh well. Glad you had an awesome time!

Next 'nox, I'll definately try and make it there for the entire 10 days of the boogie. Over my 5 days, we made some great flights - little flocks, medium flocks and were building to a new Australian record - which may have been done by now. We had around 6 to 8 new birdies in each morning class - and everyone made lots of flights. Awesome! Is your S-3 back from repair? Maybe we should plan a Picton day soon? Call me.
