Orian Price

Mike Palmer, this came as a HUGE shock to us all. Orian told some crazy, funny stories of his time in Hawaii, delivering Pizza. Were you the guy he came out to visit, and then ended up staying there? If you have not heard from anyone yet, I have limited information but would be happy to share what I...

Camping sounds fine to me! Malury, let's go flying! Boomers sound good to me!

Eclipse

This has been on my mind for some time, and I am planning on going regardless. If we can get a group together, that would be great.

Colorado Fly Week 2016!

It's time to plan, ladies. Pat and I are heading out on Monday, Aug 22. The first fly site on my radar is Point of the Mountain, UT. If you've never been there, it's worth flying. It's a ridge site, so XC is usually not in the cards. Lots of jellies. The south side works in the early mornings, and t...

Parachute Clinic

It was a great event, and I think we all learned a great deal. Joe's morning lecture was full of useful information, the flying was great, and the drills we did in the afternoon were very helpful. Special thanks go out to Joe Greblo, Andy Beem, Kat Shaw and Kathy Thompson for really making it a grea...

Spring Air Results

Congrats to all! Who took the spot landing? It looked like Joe's old partner (forgive me for not knowing his name) nailed it! Do tell!

Saddle Launching

I've been launching the saddle for a while now with no incidents yet, thankfully. I never make the attempt in gusty conditions, or when it's not straight in. There has to be some velocity to the wind. Light winds there are a "no go" for me. Whenever I'm contemplating the saddle, I walk dow...

LZ culture

I think I'did like to weigh in here, I tend to side with Greg. There is a culture among hang glider pilots that is unique among outdoor sports. What we do is dangerous. We do everything we can to mitigate that danger, but in the end, the possibility of death rides along with us on every flight. A bi...

Blown Launch

Thanks for sharing, Ken. I learned a lot from your narrative. In particular: 1. Always leave yourself enough room on the ramp for an effective launch, given the conditions. 2. Never allow the pressure of pilots behind you, or any other perceived pressures, to influence your decision to launch. I app...
