Brett flying south in front of Mt. Roberts
Our Blog Title Photo is Brett Neyhart, the most photographed and most frequent flyer in town. (Or else it's Jerry Buckley..?) Brett holds the altitude record-8200 feet in May of 2004-and the duration record-4 hours 20 minutes. For many such extended airtime feats Brett is our perennial "Iron Bladder Award" winner.

Smooth southwest winds made for easy soaring in the bowl below Gold Ridge and allowed for some picture taking. I left the top of the ridge at 4,200 feet and headed toward Juneau, losing only 500 feet once over town. Very little sink encountered.
