| Notes |
As shown by the GPS, I was
right over Manchester, NH. I was doing some climb and altitude
tests on my Tiger. Passing 15,000 feet I noticed I was flying
backwards while climbing. I played around a bit and succeed in
seeing a 1 knot groundspeed. Unfortunately, it was hard to hold
the
precise attitude necessary and I never got a picture of that.
Then I turned around, decended to 13,500 feet, leveled off and
hunted around a bit to find where my ground track and compass
matched up. I took several pictures of the GPS. Most didn't turn
out because it was after sunset. When I tried the flash, the reflection
off the glass made it impossible to read. |
