East Coast Championships

Post by hang_pilot »

Sorry if this was already posted, I've been intermittent lately on this list.

Registration for the East Coast Hang Gliding Championships at Highland Aerosports opened last Thursday: http://www.aerosports.net/ecc.html

I just signed up. Hope to see a bunch of you there!

I signed up today--I'll be hopefully flying at least a few days in the area on my way back to Maine.

I've entered the sport class and am looking to simply have fun and team fly with others. If anyone is ineterested in flying as a group (and hopefully sharing retrieve services) let me know.

Hey Marc

I have signed up to, although not in the sport class. Regarding drivers, I put a want ad on Craigslist for drivers for xc flying this spring and received lots of hits. If there is a shortage of drivers for the comp, I could send a few that way.

Looking forward to flying with you in June, if not earlier.

What a great idea! I definitely would be interested in sharing that expense with someone--although I suspect you guys in the open class will end up on different routes. I will be pretty busy down here up until the end of May--so I won't be showing up in DC until a few days before the comp. If you're going to any of the FLA gigs you're welcome to do a sidetrip to Tennessee and take in some flying here if you like! : )

Marc,

I just signed up for the sport class and would be interested in spliting a driver. It would be nice if we could get one or two more. My truck will carry three gliders, four in a pinch.

As long as things go as planned, I plan on registering for the Sport Class as well. I've got the leave on the books and have scheduled the time off, but I'm working out a few issues. Should know by the weekend.

Love to share duty with ya, Dan. My only problem is that I'm not going to make it to DC until just about the beginning--so I can't be of much help setting things up--in others words I'll be snivvling off of someone else's work!
