Took the trip over to Kupper this afternoon after work to see what was happening. Some tow operations, plenty of transient traffic and two great hops with tow-man Mike in the Citabria.

After a few minutes of standing around, Mike asked if I wanted to go up with him on the tow. He didn't even have to finish his sentence before I said yes. :) Did one tow to 3,000 feet, returned back to do another [final of the day] and then called it a night. The sun had already set by the time we both landed.
All set.

I believe this was after the release, heading back for the last tow.

A nice overview of 47N as we enter the pattern with a sharp, 4-g 180° turn to upwind for 25.

A few minutes later, we're up again, giving my buddy Sean a lift to 1,500 feet. The sunset is always prettier in the air. :)

All tucked away for the evening, the bullsh*tting begins. :)
