Desperately Staying in the Air

A winter's day in Matamata, and we got a bit low gliding on the ridge, again!
This time we demonstrate how sometimes we need to not muck around, keep moving, and get to a better area of lift. And we discuss the difficult decision making required when ridge flying.
Aviation and soaring at its most fun.
