The other day, 1/09/08, I noticed a PG pilot flying over Harrisburg, Pa. Never seen one here before. He was not over downtown, just behind the city, but still over city proper, 3:45 pm. I didn't see any means of power (ppg). Anyone know this pilot? How I can contact that pilot?
thanks

It sure sounds like that was a PPG. Don't know of anyone doing any towing up there and the nearest mtn PG sites are pretty far from H-burg. The ppg guys are often members of the Dukes of Windsoar, http://www.dukesofwindsoar.com. Lil Slugger are you listening? You can check out their roster for folks in your neck of the woods.
Best,

Thanks Daniel
I did not see PPG, but I could have missed it. I was driving when I noticed the pilot, but got to my shop two minutes later and turned around and watched the pilot maintain around 500+- over for fifteen minutes or so, before he/she went out of sight. The pilot was turning and maintaining alltitude. For as low as the pilot was I don't think they would have made it across the river. That day was very warm, possible thermic activitity.
Regardless, the flight was was noted. Would love to hear about it.
