March 24 - 26Friday: Mostly sunny and flyable.Saturday: An early morning rain should gradually clear up by early to
mid-afternoon. Best time of day to fly is probably late afternoon.Sunday: Back to sunny and flyable.Spring is in the air. Have a great weekend. mehr

I've gotten my teeth into this conflict with the Worlds and Women's Worlds in
Brasilia, as you can see from my reporting this week. CIVL seems to think that
it will just be too much for the women to fly with the men (and women on their
national teams).Where else are you going to get someone holding the CIVL representatives
accountable?You... mehr

It's time for you to look up at the sky more often.If you did, you might catch a volutus, or roll cloud, which looks like a tube
that appears to be spinning along its horizontal axis. Or perhaps you'll get
really lucky, and see a dramatic-looking asperitas cloud, from... mehr

Julie Spiegler at the USHPA writes:
In paragliding there is no separate women's competition. They do
the 6+1 or 6+2 and declare the women's champ from the same comp, just as we do
in comps at lower levels.I never actually understood why there was a separate Women's World Championship
event for hang gliding. mehr

With a moderately strong northwest wind, no cu's and a top of lift
at 2,500' most pilots take the day off. Late in the day Tom Lanning gets a
picture that in the foreground shows us burning some brush taken from around the
lake and behind that the Cu nimb, one of three that formed after 5 PM. mehr

As I pointed out in the last issue, the top women pilots won't
fly in the women's worlds
If a women makes her national team or gets to fly in the World
Championship when more teams from each nation are allowed in (but usually don't
count for the championship), she is not going to be interested in flying in the
Women's Worlds. She'll be... mehr

https://airtribune.com/2017-quest-air-cross-country/blog__day_22I took a rest day after all the fun in the blue on Monday. Tom Lanning decided
to get some practice in on being a mentor for the Sport Class and did the Sport
Class task, a 30 kilometer triangle.There were plenty of pilots ready for a great day of flying, but first they had

CIVL has finally come around to my way of thinking about how to
encourage pilots
The Sport Class in the US came about when I took Tove Heaney's
idea of the floater class in Australian competition and used it to make a class
that encouraged less experienced pilots without top of the line topless gliders
to compete against pilots similarly... mehr

https://airtribune.com/2017-quest-air-cross-country/blog__day_21I love these days. Days that require patience. Days where you get a good look
around at all the possible landing areas.I get pulled up first as Larry defers. I pin off at 1,600' in the first lift I
find on tow, light lift at maybe 100 to 200 fpm. I know that the lift is weak
but... mehr
