Introduction

[Lostgriz]

Hello,

My name is Matt Christensen and I am excited to be a member of the CHGPA. I am currently a H2, studying to take my H3. Most of my flying has been at Blue Sky where I did my training. I am currently flying a NW Freedom 170 and excited to order a new glider in the next couple weeks. I look forward to meeting more local pilots and getting to know the mountain sites. Although I have yet to log my first XC flight, I have registered for the Highland Challenge and really looking forward to the experience.Although it has been around 7 years since I flew PGs, I got my P2 at the POM almost 20 years ago.

I live in Vienna, VA with my wife and 3 kids, but consider Montana to be home. I work in operations for a commercial GC in Hernon. When I am not busy working on my never ending remodel project, I coach wrestling for my two boys.

Looking forward to flying with you all.

Matt

Hey man welcome to chgpa, might not remember me but your name and your glider sound very familiar. This is Dustin I was learning with at blue sky. Thats awesome your h2 already... I still need to get on the truck this spring lol.

Thank you all for the responses. I look forward to getting some hours logged with you all. For the next couple months, my flying will be limited to Saturdays or the occasional weekday, as I am tied up with coaching wrestling. I need to sneak down to Blue Sky and bring my glider up so that I can get out and enjoy some of the mountain flying. Sounds like I missed a good day on Sunday.

Cheers,

Matt
