My magazine photo
Recently, one of my photos was published in a soaring magazine. I should be excited, but I’m not. In short, they misrepresented my photo. They implied the pilot was in a contest and landed out; meaning, he missed the strip and the prize altogether.
Here’s the real story: It was a leisurely hot afternoon with no contest rules in sight. Scott was snuggled in his v-tail glider, and I was aloft, hanging out of a Cessna 172 window, taking photographs. After a spectacular shoot, Scott, on final, lined up on 4,000 ft., hard surfaced runway, while I happily clicked away. I know you can’t see the runway, but I can assure you that it’s there.
I’ve submitted almost 75 pictures to the soaring magazine and that’s the one they chose. So I’ve decide to share some fun flying photos with you. See below, but only if your fascinated with soaring.

Dei, I saw the picture and wondered about it. I think you are exactly right. The story was about landing out and your picture hit the nail on the head.
I couldn’t place the location in the picture, but figured it was close bye.

Hi Dei, nice blog,,,, Stephen M’s glider is a Ventus 2b
Awesome glider, Steve. I’m changing the stats now.
Thanks for checking in.
Thank you Lady Deidre enjoyed the gliders, how wonderful to soar high up in the sky but then we are promised we will just like an eagle.
Nice presentation and good commentary keep up the good work, a few of my friends would really appreciate your gliders, I must let them know about your blog.

The boys love to soar and set records! Personally, I think it’s nauseating and would rather be taking photos.
