Mission

Mission is a great local ridge located in the hills above Milpitas. It offers both ridge and thermal soaring. I had my intro (thanks Ben) a few months back and managed to get out again last month for a flight in the afternoon. I showed up plenty late, but fortunately so did Brian Foster and he took me on up to the top where the cloud base had been hovering just over launch. Eventually it creeped up over the peak and I had a great long flight with unlimited lift to the clouds.
