Winter flying in 1977
Back in the day, We were young and very keen. Winter was a good time to practice Take-offs and landings on small training Hills in the Ottawa area. These were often in the range of 10-20 m high. To keep warm, we kept moving, and I remember that one day I made a record 32 flights off a hill in Gatineau. Well, the last few I cheated and put my glider on the back of a Skidoo to climb up.
