WINTER PARAGLIDING

I haven't flown since last October! So, getting out a few times in January felt great. After a brief flight I was in the LZ when two boys and their mom caught my attention. After 20 minutes of interaction and some photos, I figured out this was Diego's (sp?) wife and kids. I hope they come out to the LZ more often.



ISSAQUAH AIR PARADE

This past weekend the Northwest Paragliding Club, in conjunction with the City of Issaquah, held the Fantastic Fly-In. As a result there were several people who showed up to fly in costumes. We had a good time flying at Tiger Mt. It started out south but switched north by the time I flew.







WEST LAUNCH OFF TIGER MOUNTAIN TODAY

Today the winds were light and out of the south/west. I made one attempt off the west launch which didn't go so well. George had just hiked up and said it was coming in nicely on the south. So, we hiked down to Tiger's south launch and went paragliding from there. Great flight!


COORDINATING TANDEMS IN MARC'S ABSENCE

This week I'm doing all the scheduling of tandems. It's quite a large task and consumes much of my day. It's nice go out and get a flight, though I couldn't even get a walk on today as there were very few hikers.
