November 17, 2008 - Day 32 |
 |
|
Chris Gullikson pulls his trike out of the warm hangar before heading
upstairs to check out the wind conditions this morning. |
 |
|
Most of the team waited anxiously for word from Chris - pictured from

Heuvelen, Don & Paula Lounsbury, Walt Sturgeon, Bev Paulan, Brian
Clauss, Heather Ray and Joe Duff. |

Chris reported it was a bit choppy on the way up to 1100 ft. but once
up there it seemed to smooth out so the decision was made to give it
a try but if the birds showed any reluctance then they would head
back. Today's lead pilot, Chris gets airborne with the birds but
soon after they broke up into several groups. |
 |
|
After about a 5 minute crane rodeo the attempt was called off - One
group of 5 birds passed by the hangar that we had ducked into on
their way back to the pensite. |

As I'm finishing up this photo page, I glanced out the window of our
RV to see this. Richard was just emerging from the aircraft trailer
so I snapped his photo. Geesh, I hope we can get a bit further south
tomorrow! |
