Default Seen over our field today

It's a sure sign of spring. We often have flocks of buzzards hooking thermals north of our power field.

One of our members almost never misses our usual Tuesday flying sessions. A couple of us were speculating what might have kept him away today. He also happens to fly a full scale sailplane. In fact he keeps it at a glider club field just north of our RC field. I got a feeling he did show up today... way up.

BTW, those were full scale gliders. There was a 4th about a thousand or two below them in the same thermal.
