Thanks to the over thirty pilots who stepped right up and donated to the Oz
Report on the first day of our request. It's really gratifying to have pilots
out there who appreciate what we do here, and have been doing for twenty years,

T2C or... mehr

You know, all we are asking for is a subscription payment of $20/year.
Seems simple enough. Like most content on the internet, you get to read the Oz
Report for free. The trouble for us, not you, is that there are not enough hang
glider pilots in this world to make advertising pay for our web hosting costs.
If you'd like to contribute to our... mehr

winds Friday through Sunday. Temps t shirt and shorts in the LZ each day and
light jacket, mid 60's at flying altitudes. Each night the winds might drift
