When I was parking my trailer at Minden, Lemmy, a visiting pilot from England, walked up to me and kindly gave me a hand. Lemmy flies LS8-18 in England and visiting Minden to teach cross county flights We had a lunch together.
Flew with John Ellis in his Numbus 3 for about 3 hours. There were few, but very strong thermals (14 kts average), and we went up to 18,000 ft in a matter of minutes after we released. There was also strong and widespread sink. We went south, and turned back north over Mt Patterson.
After flight, John, Tony, Christopher (visiting from Hawaii), Gearhart (visiting from Germany), and I went to a nice Italian restaurant Villa Gigli Trattoria.
