Winter Wave to 17,999’ Over Watsonville

XC Mentoring Flight with Ramy Yanetz

Saturday, March 25th offered me the opportunity to share a glider with Ramy Yanetz as my personal mentor/coach on a cross country soaring flight in the DG1000 1CH.  It was truly a special day and a great start to the Spring soaring season.
