Spicy Koko

In contrast to the interminable grey and rainy conditions down the windward coast, Koko Crater was sunny and sweet today, and it was flyable for the second day in a row, though a bit on the brisk side. At least twenty pilots came out, and at least ten of them flew, with all or most of them airborne together. We created quite a scenic spectacle up there.

The highlight of the day was Pete and Bonnie switching wings. That sounds crazy, but actually Pete had brought his mini-wing up to launch, and Bonnie flew that one, while Pete flew Bonnie's usual XS wing. So both of them were in smaller wings than usual. Bonnie had some very amusing launch escapades, and fortunately for the rest of us, they were filmed from several entertaining angles.
