Mt. Lemmon was very good to us today, especially for this late in the season. We had three guests from Phoenix, Brad, Andrew, and Dustin M.

It was a pretty light day, and the Phoenix pilots headed west toward my house before Dustin and I left the ground. Andy headed south, then northwest and then west, landing a couple miles east of I-10 and Tangerine. Dustin (flying a T2C) landed around I-10 and Tangerine.

Andrew made a valiant attempt at the school yard by my house, but came up maybe a mile or so short. Brad and I both landed in the school yard (with my wife there to greet us), and I walked home, achieving a dream I've had since I started flying.

Overall, it was a great day, and we really enjoyed hosting our Phoenix friends.

A huge thanks to Terry for driving for us today, and for carrying a wing all the way to launch.
