Hello all, My name is Carlos Silva, I may have been a member back in the 80’s, but I can’t recall for sure. I learned how to hang glide in the early 80’s while visiting Kitty Hawk. I immediately got hooked and reached a Hang2 or 3 rating? My memory doesn’t work so well anymore. Anyway, I bought a ne...

I received a XMAS card from the Masons, LZ landowners. He got my address because I did send him 8 Letter size pictures, aerial views of his place, as XMAS presents to give to his kids. He wants to thanks all members for the delicious oranges they received as a present. He mentioned David Bodner as t...

Alek, the scene 8AM going up in the truck with others, that one counts as a selfie I guess.

This is a video about a paragliding competition in Roldanillo, Valle de Cauca, Colombia. It gives a chronological story about the competition and key events that happened. This 8 days event took place in January 2016 and was labelled the 2nd Colombian Open FAI II Roldanillo 2016. Each year paraglidi...

someone noticed the make the font on the original design more bold, thanks for the remark! here you go; ( I believe I will have to make a separate website with all my designs) https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-e9O0LRfVzew/UmK9ZfHlrxI/AAAAAAAAGMA/8bnqeQLW7YQ/s827-no/Picture14.jpg https://lh5.googleu...

For the mountain only lovers, well all will give comments and review I hope, there are unique numbers at the right bottom right. (some just have different colors, to show the colors they can be adjusted) https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-TM_PrWy9TMY/UmJkmhoG0GI/AAAAAAAAGKI/3SZ-JRli9Zg/w950-h817-no/...

I like it for sure the mountains, I'm trying to put similar stuff together but I just lack time to make a good design. The eagle is nice but someone noticed that we should give a clear message what this is about and he proposed to clearly show a hang glider and paraglider. We will make both and let ...

Ward, I like your idea of the Massanutten/Woodstock Ridge

This said has anyone a picture of the ridge at Woodstock tower. With the tower at flying level in view?

This one has more focus on the flying stuff with colors as someone noticed we should give a clear message what we are about. Let me know how to improve this design or come forward with yours. If you have a sketch or idea and don't know how to present it, I'm happy to help. https://lh6.googleusercont...

cross post on PG Yahoo forum is a fact

There is also plans to look into the possibility of a Wind Talker at either launch or on top of the Mountain House Restaurant. I came across this article about this topic (cellphone & solar power weather station). http://www.paraglidingforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=59090 See also the manufacturer w...

thanks for sharing!

yeah not let's make them angry...

fyi
Although we were not violating anything, we were recently quite impolite requested to move our ass by a local redneck from a public road next to private property.
We just kept our mouth and got away without any extra word.

This is how the landing for the PG looks like in the field we can land in agreed by the owners. It's the closed field that is very active during the day and down slope. In the evening with no wind it can be landed opposite, up slope. http://www.youtube.com/edit?ns=1&feature=vm&video_id=loVi_...

Apparently Sparky is at the source of this, I will contact him

Interesting to share with HG friends

My neighbors told me the Rocky Gap Camp Ground suffers from Highway noise the whole day and night.
Maybe this closer to the airport in the back of launch campground is less noisy?

West of Altoona there are no Appalachian ridges anymore but the landscape is more chaotic hill shaped, ideal for thermal collectors, can't wait to be back there and fly that 150km all the way to I-80.

Second time in a week I got over Raystown lake and passed Altoona. Really nice flying days at Bills lately!

I flew Eagle Rock only once and that was on my year in the US back in 2003. I liked it a lot.
This is the short video I made that time which is still on the http://www.flywv.com website as I met Dwayne for my P3 over there.

I just call the police office in Woodstock - (540) 459-2141- and they reply on the spot if the road is open or not

Cheers

Today Matt and I flew likely in the biggest gaggle ever, +100 pilots in the mountains waiting for the start to open, amazing and very busy/chaotic , one needs to be alert with so many close together some selected pics (not of the gaggle too busy steering) https://picasaweb.google.com/111308642262159...
