The following pictures were taken June 2000 in Madison, Wisconsin. This is the polo field where the Madison sailplane group meets.
Flying north. I'm the leftmost dot on the field.
Flying west. The field in the background is the sod farm we fly
from when not flying from the polo field.
The view back towards Madison. The vertical line on the left is
not the hi-start -- it's the community TV tower.
Turning harder, getting closer to the ground.
A group picture. What, don't you recognize me? I'm the dot off the corner of the trailing edge of
the wing.
Another group pic.
One last picture after landing. With the extra weight and unwelcome
flying characteristics this camera adds, landing in a foot of grass is
a fine place to end up.
