I considered flying today after homeschool, but it was pretty windy:
Trish continues to crochet baby booties:
With all this wind, I figured it would be possible to get a passenger up in the air by pushing the passenger from behind. With the wind at 15MPH, I would only have to add a bit of ground speed to get the wing up to its flying speed. Trish went first:
I held on the the harness when the wing came up to make sure the wing came up straight, and also to prevent Trish from being pulled back too far:
And off she goes!
Here’s a video of Tricia’s first flight:
On her second “flight”, Trish didn’t quite stick her landing, but it was OK since she was only a few feet above the ground:
M went next:
They both really enjoyed their flights!
Way to go Tricia and M!
They say “Thanks!”. When we next come to New York, I’ll take you out to the Freshman Center and push you along, OK?
Deal!
Don’t let me forget!
