Timelapse of clouds
On April 15th, I made a time-lapse video of the clouds. These clouds are the result of rising air. We use this rising air to gain altitude in our gliders and stay aloft for hours.

Spring flight of the JS1
Here is a photo of Steve landing in David's beautiful JS1 on Saturday. Steve went around and past College Station on his flight. There were great soaring conditions here just outside Houston this weekend.
12 intro flights last Saturday!
We had a great Saturday last weekend with 12 introductory flights and two new members getting instruction. All the people that took the introductory flights had a blast! Come on out (when it's not raining <sad face>) and experience one of Houston's best-kept secrets!
