...would you believe it; my first flight from the 'famous' Rigi (-Kulm) (1797m). My last flights from this mountain (but other, lower launches) date back to 2004 and even 1992.

| inflight: pano looking north: left: lake of Zug; center: 'Rossberg' (1580m), below: 'Arth'; 'Lauerzersee' (far right) |
 | |
| Infligh:pano looking east: left 'Rossberg'; center 'Arth-Goldau'; the lake is called 'Lauerzersee'. Behind the lake (the distinctive pyramid) 'Mythen' |
Today offered only a short window of opportunity for flying: the flight from Rigi.Kulm was too early for finding nice thermals and the second flight from Urmiberg had to be cut short due to overdevelopment (when folding the glider thunder could be heard).
But 'long' flights have not been todays objective anyway: just some more nice launches - which I had :-))
 |
| Urmiberg launch (steep!) |
 |
| Inflight: pano from east to southwest: left 'Muothatal'; center 'Brunnen', behind 'Fronalpstock'; 'Urnersee'; right: 'Seelisberg'/ 'Emmetten' |
There is now only one more opportunity left before leaving for the US next monday to fly with my new glider: Friday - if present forcasts prove to be correct.
