Hang Gliding & Paragliding Blogs

Another year comes to an end! Lots of exciting stuff happened this year; I finally soloed, PA gets a face lift, plus a lot more!

This is a continuation from my previous post on the fun that Rich and I had while trying to scooter tow Tuesday August 4th out at the Whitewater Hang Gliding Club

Tuesday was a nice day and I was stuck indoors without a window to the world to look out, unless you consider Facebook a window to the world. I checked the local forecast for soaring from my hang gliding club’s website (WhitewaterHangGlidingClub.com) and saw that the conditions were okay.

Nonetheless, it was a nice day and I was stuck inside. I wanted to go flying, like everyday, and new that by the time I got out of work, drove to the airport, and assembled my glider that I would probably get only two aero tow flights in. Worse than that both flights would most likely be sled runs too. Then I remembered – our aero tow provider is closed on Tuesdays! Flying tonight wasn’t looking good…
