I was initially planning to fly in Texas at Cowboy Up, but due to Hurricane Bari, I couldn't. Instead, we traveled up to the Rockies, visited national parks, and ended up flying hang gliding at Crawford Mountain in northern Utah. If interested, here is a "fast-edited" YouTube video of &quo...

I'm really sorry to hear this terrible news! George was such a wonderful person - always so kind and friendly. He would greet us hangis with a warm hug every time we saw him. This is such a heartbreaking day.

We had no problems with the mosquitos, but a few horse was all we had to worry about.

If interested, you can watch a preview video, essentially a flight report of our trip to Crawford Mountain, Utah, on Thursday, July 11. We had planned to have many longer flights at Cowboy Up in Texas, but due to a hurricane hitting Wharton, TX, we changed our plans and decided to leave Texas for th...

We recently concluded our unique and thrilling Highland Challenger, a week-long event that took place from June 1st to June 8th. We had three perfect days out of the eight. This year, all the good days were triangle days except for two beach trip days, which were too windy for me. If you want to rea...

Allan, With your amazing SKILLS, and in the pleasant seasons of a good spring, summer, or early fall XC DAY, you could easily cover more great distances. I attempted it once and managed to cover only 30 kilometers. However, I made a mistake by jumping over to the Ridge behind. Despite that, I don't ...

Yesterday, Saturday the 28th, was a fantastic day at Woodstock. It was a really warm nice day and the conditions were light with four to five miles per hour W- NW winds and thermal gusts up to 10 mph. Only two HG pilots, Bari and I, were interested in flying at Woodstock, since the XC skies forecast...

We had 6 great days out of 9 days. Even Wednesday was great, despite the smoke. It seems like the first week of June always works here. Plenty of landings, flat, low crops. The unbelievable flight today with low savers, birds helping me get back up, then sea breeze, cruising down on a conversion for...

Saturday, April 29th. The last day of the first comp week was canceled today. We flew four days out of 7 and 3 of the days were good. I made it to goal on task 3, flying 40 km, 2,16 hours. Monday will be the second week, and the weather looks good for next week's HG competition. John Simon, MD, won ...

I am down in Florida for the competitions. On Friday, two pre-comp pilots flew almost to Georgia, over 100 miles. Sunday was our first comp day. Davi's writeups sum it up all. Excellent being here, and I hope for many flying days. “ First Task 2023 Paradise Airsports Nationals The cumulus clouds did...

Though, for sure, it’s going to be good—classic post-frontal NW day.

Don't think I'll be going today.

I am planning to go to Woodstock on Sunday if the forecast holds.
I will make a final decision on Saturday evening/Sunday morning.
