Barely Staying Up – A 7 PM Thermal Flight in Norway

Description

The weather had been poor all day, so this ended up being my only flight – and it didn't start until just after 7 PM. I took off with my electric self-launching glider, the AS 33 Me, charged entirely from my solar trailer. In Norway the summer sun stays high late into the evening, and there was still enough thermal activity to soar over the mountains in beautiful evening light.
