First Flight at Bill's Hill with friends

[Aron - Soaring]

Hello thought I'd share this with you all.  Probably some of you knew Dave H. (AKA Spoons);  we tragically lost Dave a couple weeks ago in a HG accident.

Dave and Mark were always great flying buddies and they showed up here to Bill's Hill on this day just to help out and share in it though they had no plans of flying.  Always entertaining to be with these guys whether flying or partying.  Dave was the spearhead of Jacks Mountain flying enthusiasm for years and years always pointing out the good days to come flying.

Here is a video of Bill's Hill.  It was pretty good flying that day with lots of HG pilots out and a few PG pilots came but didn't fly, but a couple did.  I think Bradon got a first time PG flight in there at the end of the day.

The highlight of the day was the number of pilots that came out even if they didn't fly.  Spoons, Mark and Bacil were there just helping and adding fun and needed levity to launch.

It was kind of hard going back to footage taken almost 2 months ago and making this video knowing what we know now.

Trying to show the good times...here it is.
