Beautiful day.  "Which way is the wind blowing? ....... The other way!"
If you did not like the way the wind was blowing just wait a minute.
Once when I was on final at 15' altitude the wind changed 180 degrees to a tail wind.  Dove down to pick up speed, levelled off at about 2' and stretched it as long as I could to reduce landing speed.  Landed at the tall grass at the end of the cut grass.  A lot safer than a go-around.

Photos:
01- Guy and his powered glider
03- Guy and his Spitfire.  It refused to take off (2 of the 4 cells read zero).  Then before it stopped rolling it had a temper tantrum and spit out the left main wheel.
07- Eric W. dropped by.  He said Andre is still doing fine.
10- Andy got enough new rubber bands for a few flights.
11- Michael in his control tower.
12- Yes, David flies a quad.  An in-line one.  Nice Lancaster.
13- Glenn sets up for an afternoon of flying.
