Here’s what it was like: you take off into a lite breeze and fly through the devil that wasn’t there when you started. Climb out, turn back and release in the devil, where a quick thousand foot gain lifts you into the shearline – right over the airport. Tiptoe along that about eight miles each way, gaining a thousand feet with each pass. It worked this way all day – and at the end turned to wave, also right over the airport.
