Waddell with Hang Glider and Airplane

Today I got some nice air at Waddell. Just me and the sky. The back ridge was nasty with a warm east wind wrapping out of the canyon. Top of lift was around 545. Very smooth down below. Dolphins in the ocean and pelicans creeping by on the ridge.

My friend Nick landed on the runway with his bush plane and I hopped in for a ride. We did a tour out over the island and back behind Waddell. It was exciting landing in the Waddell rotor in an airplane. We hit the runway and then popped back up for a second. Thanks again Nick.
