This morning I launched flight #91 and flew east, away from the dunes:

On the way back, I could see most of the dune field from this altitude:

There are now many more RVs here for the three-day weekend:

Again, flying the dunes:

Oh hello there:

Jonathan and I followed this group for a bit:

This video contains this morning’s flight, as well as all the previous Glamis flights from this week:
After the morning flight, we packed up to escape the ever-increasing dust and drove southeast to the Ogilby Road and American Girl Mine Road area. This BLM area is just a few miles from the southern end of the Glamis dune field, but its far enough away that we’re spared the crowds:

Canyon and Jonathan and I launched (flight #92 for me) and flew out over the neighborhood. Behold the blessed isolation:


Hello RV:

M and I raced along this road. There was quite a bit of wind, so in this direction I had to do S-turns to avoid leaving him behind:

The air was pretty thermic, as today was a hot day. I landed about an hour before sunset:
Good Shabbos from Ogilby:

Wow awesome video, thanks. It’s very engaging when you’re flying low enough to see action happening on the ground.
Thanks Ben, I’ve really become much more comfortable with wing control, so I can now come down from my perch 500 feet above the ground.
