Davis beats Manfred yet again (who writes these tag lines,

Here.Did you check us out live?
Live Tracking. Wouldn't have been too exciting today.The forecast was all wrong (when it came to the wind), but that was a good

will send us into unsafe conditions. I listen to the weather briefer and make my

There is a news video on the page now of Julia’s 1st flight after
her launch incident on a borrowed predator. Apparently a number of our young
pilots were quite interested in helping her out.
