Today was cancelled due to high winds…it’s a beautiful sunny day and hot (36 C), but the winds on Mt. Borah are gusting to 40 kph, and to the SW it’s 50 kph. So no task today. While we were waiting for the official word on this, pilots amused themselves with a paper airplane contest. Best glide, time aloft, and accuracy. It was quite funny to see pilots lining up in the HQ with their creations, tossing them, and then retrimming them. Gin was the expert at this by retrimming his airplane often enough so that he was getting the most distance on most of his tosses. And he also won the accuracy contest by tossing his airplane directly into the lens of the video camera (the target) so he wins a free beer :)
