Bird or Man? You Decide.

Yesterday I traversed the back roads of Northern NJ and upstate NY to give in to the beckoning call of flight, despite warnings of isolated thunderstorms and precipitation. My efforts were rewarded through the enjoyment provided by this flight, what I consider to be one of my best to date.



A powerful and confident launch, followed by proper adjustments toward my target, appropriate speed control, and a finely timed flare made this flight worth the 3 hour round trip drive to Ellenville.

In related news, our harnesses arrived. They look and feel awesome.



And yes, the white racing stripes will make me go faster.
