A spectator taking in the view from the launch site at Lookout Mountain.

The youngest flyer at 12 years old waiting for the wind to work for his launch.

Another flyer waiting to launch.

Off he goes.

This guy is a natural at riding thermals.

About to make the last step into the air.

One of the planes that pulled flyers from the landing zone.

In case you wondered what a tandem flight looks like, here is an example.

The view from the landing zone as a glider is towed aloft.

Tried to catch a couple of flyers at once.

Stretching for all he can get.

My buddy, Larry, flying over as he started his approach to the landing zone.

If they fly by low enough, and you zoom out far enough, you can get shots like this.

I enjoyed making photos of flyers from the landing zone. There are several similar to this one.

This looks like a pretty tight turn to me.

Kind of looks like he is checking out the parking lot behind us.

Looks like this flyer is cutting it sharply.

My buddy, Larry, lining up his approach to the landing zone.

I enjoyed the way this glider was decorated.

No big deal.

And followed by a clean landing.

About to make a clean landing near the cone.

Another successful touchdown pending.
