Nice Southland slice of life there at the end! Also, +1 for NPR.

Nice video , Jonathan. Thanks. Who was that who landed sitting?

Nice choice of music, Jonathan. The Mamas and the Papas. Perhaps I'm dating myself, but so what. Mama Cass Elliott, John Phillips and the rest. They definitely had a sound.

I had no idea so many people flew on Monday Mondays. I'm going to have to play some hookie and get out there.

Thanks for the post.

Thanks, everyone. That's Fred Waugh. He's back after beating cancer and having his hip reconstructed. If anyone sees him on launch or in the LZ please offer to carry his wing so he doesn't injure his rebuilt anatomy. Here's the nice video he made a few years ago: http://vimeo.com/1763242

I thought that might be Fred, but I didn't know that he was back in the game. That's great! Also, I had heard about Andy's pop up landings but, until your video, had never seen him do it. Thanks again for the video.
