VIsiting PG pilot from Canada

Post by etiennesky »

Hi all,

I'm in the Charlottesville, VA area for a little over a week, and would love to paraglide in the area. I have been travelling around southern Europe for almost one year, doing a lot of paragliding so I'm quite autonomous and have seen many new and great flying sites.

I would like to get in contact with local pilots in the Charlottesville area. I understand that there is a site called Daniels very close to the Charlottesville airport. Is there anyone planning on flying this week or the following weekend?

Can someone please forward me a pdf copy of the flying sites guide, so I can get the pilot contacts and other information therein?

Thanks and looking forward to flying with you guys,
Etienne

A LOT of our regular pilots are not going to be flying for one reason or other in this area the next month or so (including myself). And there were less than 10 regular PG pilots to start with. So, you might not hear from anybody, unless one of the irregular or new-ish to this area pilots contacts you.

If you are in the area after the 22nd of September, do give me a call. I try to fly every weekend. My phone number is 703- five-three-six 3209 and my email address is e46kim at hotmail dot com

Hi Etienne,

I forwarded your message to local Charlottesville pilot Noah Merritt. If you send me your contact info, I will forward that to Noah as well. My email address is mcgraham20@yahoo.com.
