Mostly pictures of Jeff just now¹, complete with captions of that banal, "pithy" school as required in exhibitions of this sort.² Click on the picture to view a larger version. Click here for hang gliding links and an additional photo.

Jeff down at the LZ3, waiting his turn for a ride to launch; the 450 4 launch can be seen up over his shoulder

And now up at launch; a light south-west wind is blowing, but wait your turn!

Jeff maneuvering the glider to launch; how are those ground-handling skills?

Jeffy in the sky, no diamonds; we now each have our own pod harnesses, which look way cooler5 than the training harness6 Jeff is using in this photo	Jeff, wisely deciding he doesn't have enough altitude to cross the river into Vermont7, turns back towards the LZ3 8 Once again, Karl9 gliding in for landing, over-shooting the bullseye; Mt. Ascutney remains off in the distance	Up, I'm so high, like a birdie in the sky...
Finally! A photo of Karl; ...He's that dark blob flying the glider into landing		Karl coming in for landing, exhibiting a rather wussy final flare; and he isn't even inside any of the rings of the bullseye

Notes

1

When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon, it was Neil Armstrong who was the shutter-bug, taking pretty much all of the photographs of man's first tour of our neighboring satellite. As a result, there are almost no photos, and certainly no good photos, of Neil Armstrong, first human to walk on the moon, actually walking on the moon. I bring this up for a reason... [-Karl]

That, and taking forever to load...

I'm sorry: "LZ" is short for "Landing Zone"; I never wanted to become one of those jargon spouting, incomprehensible, I'm-too-sexy-to-talk-like-you, repetitive, redundant, go-on-and-on kind of people, but it just kind of creeps up on you...

Why don't we call it the 150 meter launch? I guess us pathetic novice types like to bolster ourselves up spouting off big sounding numbers in a casual way.

5

And they look even cooler actually hanging from the glider!

6

Is that like a training bra?

7

Which can actually be done, only -- *snort!* -- not by us!

8

We cover this already! Weren't you paying attention?

You can tell it's Karl by those lovely socks peeping out under his pants¹⁰ cuffs. So why is it if I'm a size 33 length, I can't buy pants that fit me because they only make even sizes, either 32 or 34? I mean, what is the deal here?! Yes, I'm odd, in many ways more than just my inseam -- do I need garment manufacturers telling me this??! And restricting the full breadth and depth of my living and being, forcing me to expose my silly socks for all the world to see when I come in for a landing in a hang glider!!?? I think not.

For the American-impared, read that as "trousers".

Nothing to see here...
