Larry Bunner, Greg Dinauer and I are a cross country team. Larry
had mentioned going around the Green Swamp and then he came up with a counter
clockwise task that looked very doable.
He was off first around 1 PM with Greg right behind him. I was third as we
launched toward the southeast with a 6 mph easte wind. Greg got a much better
climb...

As you may have noticed not everything in this world is done in the pursuit of
profit. Much is done in the name of improving the community life. I hope that
you think of the Oz Report as improving the hang gliding community.
The funny thing is, if you do something to help the community others see that
and they do that also. No one wants to...

I've been flying something since I was 14 (sailplanes first,
followed by single engines, hang gliders, then finally multi-engine aircraft).
That's 45 years ago. Today, however, was the first day I got paid to fly
something. I finally got around to taking advantage of the long-standing offer
of two of the finest pilots I know,...

Larry Bunner is here so that gives me a reason to fly. Flying
together is a lot more fun (that's why we have competitions). Larry wanted to
fly to Wallaby Ranch and back and with a west wind (a little north of west at 10
mph, I was game. The lift forecast looked good.Larry was pulled up before I was but I was soon under him and we climbed out...

Larry Bunner and I took off in south winds (196 degrees) that we
recorded at 20 mph as we circled above Quest Air and drifted to the north
northeast. Our goal was to go north up highway 301, and to get around the Ocala
National Forest and the air space at Leesburg you have to fly north northwest at
first. This meant jumping cloud streets one...

Forget the emotional rollercoaster cliche. This was hang-gliding
in a hurricane, soaring toward the sun on a thermal one minute, then plummeting
to the cliffs the next. Rollercoasters only offer the illusion of danger. Your
biggest risk there is getting...

They keep trying to kill email. The internet makes it so everything is
instantaneous, so email issues of the Oz report can appear to be a throw back to
old times.
But it appears from readers' comments that many of you look forward to the Oz
Report in the morning as an email delivery. I do my best to get it out each
morning, but sometimes...
