So, today was the last day of fun and flying for us in Oludeniz. Forecast was not promising but proved to be completely wrong and at 10 am the acro truck was heading up the hill again! The flight today was probably one of my favorites - was able not only start and hold a respectable heli but stopped and reversed direction, then did some REAL wingovers. Wow. Nothing like seeing your own shadow on the bottom of your glider with the sun just past noon. I was WELL over the glider riding and finally well controlling any wingtip collapses with no problem.
Got a little low over the water, though which made me a bit extra cautious for the second flight - so I decided to just enjoy the view, watch Mike Kung and Mendo take a turn at "combat kiting" on top of Babadag in quite strong winds and take some really nice pictures (to come when I am back in New York).
After saying out good byes at the hotel to the Vertigo crew headed back to Istanbul. Ramadhan is over so the city greeted us relatively coldly, with empty streets and a 70 lira kebab... that should teach us to as for the prices ahead of time! Back to New York at 7 am... Till next time.
