What was hoped would be our departure flight on Oct. 11th turned into
a training flight when the pilots were greeted with a headwind once
airborne. Here Richard leads the cranes on a flight over Rynearson
pond to the delight of the media and public. |

 |
| On Oct. 12th an unstable system passed through the
area preventing our departure. If the cranes are not able to fly with
the trikes, they are released for a flight on their own to exercise
their large and still developing wings. |
