Getting ready to fly in the Grob 103. |

On tow with our destination in sight. |

Typical view below as we thermalled. |

Starting to look much closer. |

We can now see the trestle train tracks. |

We arrive slightly low and slope soar the face. |

As we work our way over the summit, the train works it's way up too. |

We're at 14,400' and climbing at 600fpm! (Note that the O2 is on) |

One last wave goodbye before we head home. |

Looking towards home, it sure looks far away! |

John is very happy, note Pikes Peak just off his right shoulder |

Turning base to runway 1-1, what a comfort to be home. |

Clouds had lennies as we drove into Canon City. |

They grew and shrank as we watched. |

A nice stack over a solid CU. |

Dean Baird my inspector and Dale his inspector. |

David Lane pulling the PW-5 home after a flight. |

David had a great time in the PW-5. |

The PW-5 on tow, it gets off in a hurry. |

At mid field it's already doing well. |

By the time they pull away their really high. |

The Peak Soaring tow plane we used. |

A powered DG flew in and paid us a visit. |
|
Driving through Utah and Colorado during our trip was
incredible... everwhere we looked, it seemed you could soar forever. |

The clouds at Utah's Dinosour Natl Monument (near Vernal Utah) were beautiful. |

The clouds we saw driving across Eastern Utah surely had 1000k potential! |

The Fremont County Airport as seen from Hwy-50 driving West. 5400', runway is 11/29 |

The Peak Soaring Hanger at the airport. The runway is behind me or South. |

Inside I met John Duprey the owner/operator of Peak Soaring. |

Inside the hanger there's a 2-33, a 2-32, a Grob 103, a PW-5, a LS-3, a Jantar Std and 2
Pawnee tow planes! |

Keith Butler my very able instructor. He does a great job. |

The Schweitzer 2-33 used for lessons. I happily flew my first over 1 hour flight in
this glider! |

John the PW-5 dealer, showing off a great looking glider. |

The PW-5 that you can rent at Peak Soaring. I have to say it's beautiful. |

Another view of the PW-5. |

These are a few brand new PW-5's waiting for their new owners! |

This is a sight I sure would love to see in my garage! Several lucky people will
enjoy these. |
After my afternoon free flights I had plenty of time to
tour the area with my family. My wife got a rest from travelling, my kids swam all
day and I got to fly, what a great vacation!!! |

An interesting rock outcropping on Hwy 50 a few miles West of Canon City and the airport. |
