Wil Brown from AK on Zeno 2 (blue) + yours truly on Icaro Alto HG (green).  Really smooth and pleasant autumn day. Sadly, my Hero 11 Black went bye-bye over Sugarpine Mtn along with an hour of 5K flight footage.  Next time I use a leash.

Yesterday’s track and sunset. It was a good afternoon.

TFRs in KML are much easier for me to visualize and plan around.

This encounter happened on Wednesday atop Kagel Mtn in Sylmar.

I was fooled by the marginal looking forecast and figured I’d be lucky to get an hour of weak scratching.  However, the weather stations showed better than forecast flying was setting up.  I launched Marshall at 2:09 and connecting took a lot of patience and strategy. Eventually I went to the back ridge and flew a modest FAI triangle followed by fun flying until I was fatigued and landed without a whack.  Video will appear below after upload. Sportstracklive.
