P2/H2 Couple New to the area

[sculpepper]

Hey all, I'm new to the area and hoping to get some flying in. My wife and I are P2/H2s that learned flying at lookout and the SPP flight school when it was around. I finished 3 solo HG ATs last winter and haven't been able to fly since getting into the DC area. I'd love to meet up with you all some time to hear stories and get some site guidance. Maybe there are some training hills to practice some launches from?

Welcome,
Hope to see you on the hill soon.
What flying site is the closest to you?

And if you're available Wednesday I'm hosting a meetup in Arlington!

[sculpepper]

We're in Chantilly. Sorry I missed the meetup Wednesday! I haven't looked around so I'm not too sure what flying sites are near us, I'm really just curious if there is a training hill nearby. I've lost my depth perception recently and it's been awhile since I last flew so I'm trying to be a bit cautious.

Sorry to hear that! I guess that's permanent?

The closest hill is Taylor Farm east of Fredericksburg. The site requires a waiver which you can find on our homepage.

Welcome!
I live close to u guys: Ashburn
You may want to do some scouter towing @blue sky (Manauin, VA) to practice. When I was a HG2 I went there & had 10 short flights in a day! It was great & it is less physically intense then Going up & down the hill @ Taylor's farm. After u fell better about flying, u may want to go to Taylor's farm to practice foot launch.

If u like, I can let u know the next time I am going to Blue Sky: we could ride together.
