[Amigo] > [Greg's flight index] Flight Articles from the weekend of Sat 7/22 & Sun 7/23 (in order of posting time stamp) Greg Brown (aka Pokie)
Saturday, 7/22/06 Congrats to John G., John Lyons, and Lee Khan for successfully crossing no-mans-land and arriving at the training hill! Also, congrats to Dean-O for more-or-less the same in a paraglider! (Okay, so he didn't quite make the hill, but he'll probably do that today (Sun.)). For me, it was a nail biter flight simply because I'm fairly new to Pine and had no real clue about what I could make and what I couldn't. (That is a deceptively good glide heading south.) I got to 12.7k over launch and went on glide towards S.B., then chickened out after about a third of the way and hung a left to Foxtail field where I joined DD. I would have died of heatstroke if it hadn't been for him (and Skippy, who arrived for retrieve shortly after I landed.) Thanks guys. The development over/behind launch was really something to behold. Pokie
