Christian Maurer got stuck just before the fifth turnpoint in stable air and was

But in recent years, there have been hints that NSAIDs might not

those who take the painkillers experience just as much muscle soreness as those
who do not.

enough to ask for money early enough to be the first one out the gate with a
GoFundMe campaign. Well, the 2017 US National Hang Gliding team (at least some
of its members) are living the hang gliding life (doing tandems at the Florida
Ridge for example, instead of building... mehr

Despite a penalty for not being able to fly in a pre-event due to

118 pilots. Eight rounds in nine days. Thunder storms and cu-nimbs every day.
Thanks to Oggy.
I was attending my second or third competition. I had gone cross country for the

Oregon, at the 1989 Manufacturer's League Meet. mehr
