Dreaming of Soaring


In the middle of work and school, I've been tormented by the sight of beautiful high based cloud streets perfect for long glider flights. It's difficult to concentrate on the tasks at hand with such distractions.

Sometimes you get lots of clouds in Central Nevada, the 302 glide computer (top middle) is showing 16,133 feet msl, this weather is common here, this summer the bases were usually much higher than on this day. On this 760 km flight, the distance to Tonopah is showing 61.2 nautical miles to the southeast. This shot was taken while flying slow under this cloud to climb a bit just before speeding up for the jump to the next cloud.

Can't complain too much had a great summer.
