Due to weather, Eagle Butte provided the sole venue. |
Thanks to Pat Maher's indomitable enthusiam and optimism and his non-stop
"wind dance," a handful of slope-heads and Marcela were
treated to some usable slope lift on Saturday about 7:30 PM. Because
we also got rained on, Marcela dubbed us "los mojados,"
the wet ones, which is a term applied to Mexicans swimming across
the Rio Grande to Texas. Los mojados left to right are: Frank Slaughter,
Sidney Healey, Pat Maher, Dieter Mahlein, and Thomas Rauber. |
Sunday morning, there actually was some lift... |
...and quite a few scale planes flew... |
...including (in no particular order) Pilatus B4, LS-3, Mü-13
Bergfalke, Fox, DG, Lunak, and Discus. |
|
US-made performance planes: a classic Carbon Raider, the Mojo, and a
DS-Tempest. |
Then the lift started cycling and became light again. |
