    Mark – I definitely could be wrong about the other pictures. It was unknown which bin/shelf that the wing was on, so I opened and took pictures of a few that were possible candidates (unmarked/unpaid, suspicion of last known location, etc). I know less than nothing about hang gliders, so if someone knowledgeable could assist in figuring out which one is his, it would be a huge help.

    Should I remove the other pictures above? If you’re fairly sure they are wrong, I can pull them off to reduce confusion.

    Jack – I got an “I think so” about it being a 150. He said he was flying it with a body weight of 165 lbs, but that a look at the placard would be a good idea. I believe someone volunteered to set it up and inspect it.

    Also looks like the ground summoned forth whatever he had been consuming:

    Can confirm the wind trickling over the back most of the day. I pushed back close to the Crestline ridge several times throughout the day and each time the closer I got, the more “off” the air felt. Very buoyant everywhere else and very smooth – the fishbowl was one giant thermal today. I made a weak attempt to follow Jérôme but when I wasn’t seeing lift at Arrowhead, I chickened out and headed back. Was above 6k most of the afternoon and had great climbs out in front. Topped out at 8500’ and flew for 4 hours – my best day of flying yet.

    Also – I took this yesterday (looks like the Windy app appropriately called the convergence for today):

    New graphs are now live. I appreciate the feedback that I’ve gotten from some of you. Hopefully these are a step forward (I think so). Also – nothing is set in stone, so feel free to post any additional comments/requests here if you think something could be better.

    The comparisons are great, Alan! Hope it’s not too much effort to keep ‘em coming – would be great to see if any trends emerge.

    Made some adjustments, by request – no more fill on the wind speed/direction, darker gust line, etc.

    I’m a fan of the new model, old format (just my noob opinion).

    I like that the new format shows more information, but kinda like the “lower fidelity” of the old – makes it super easy to see the differences as there are fewer colors to mentally process.

    Copy that – will try out a few more adjustments early next week.
