The fact that Little Black even exists in SoCal is amazing in itself. Must have been both early in the day and a huge temp dew point spread? Not a cloud in the sky...
Yes, it was about noon time. It’s typically blue sky thermalling around here with some cloudy days after some storms go through. I wish we could really groom the launch area better but not allowed to do so is my understanding. All in all a great spot that can be very challenging. Thanks for watching!
There were a couple of students with Max Marren who teaches locally and also does SIV courses and was my P3 instructor way back when…but they were doing quick flights to landing. So was on my own. Nice to have a friend or two as a way to better find the best lift area…if you see someone circling and going up, you try to join them! Thanks for watching! 🪂
I have but not lately. I flew Horse a lot way back when traffic wasn’t so blasted heavy…same for Blossom. These days I’m lazier and fly Little Black and Torrey a lot. Palomar is a bit more traffic friendly. Thanks for watching! 🪂
I love being an old guy gliding.
Old guys rule!
Absolutely!

Nice flying Lou
Was just in Cali not too long ago. Might have ran into you at Torrey Pines 😊
Had another nice flight yesterday…maybe we meet next time🪂😎
@@loums52 Happy flying.
Nice review Lou. Maybe in a year I might look into a pod.
Thanks! If you can, try to demo one when you feel ready. There are so many good ones now. Happy flying! 🪂
Looked like a great day........did you go with anyone else?
