Loop

The weather didn't look too good in the morning.
But it got clear around 2pm.
Still a bit windy from the east about 8knots.
Some of us landed on 09.

Took a flight in the L-23 with Jim.
Did the routine maneuvers and on the way back to the field, found a huge thermal.
I was about 1700 ft, but started thermaling and went up to about 3500 ft.
We chased around the 1-34 for a while, and Jim showed me a loop.
It was really cool.
I was expecting to be hanging from my straps, but the centrifugal force had kept me in my seat the whole time.
This was the funnest flight that I ever had.
