The Texas encampment was an experience of a lifetime in many ways.
Flying with the Ozone team was a daily master class. We put up 6 400+km flights
and flew over 4500 km in three days. Bill Belcourt flew over 1000 km in three
days! I had the longest flight of my life at 260 miles (419 km). Short of the
world record, but... mehr

tasks to the steward and safety people running Annecy?
Isn't it true that half of the class 5's are not even sanctioned to fly in a

Jamie Shelden writes (with some editing for bad words and format):
Bottom line is that I think it's a shame that the paragliders
weren't restricted from flying a bit more. I feel like they spoiled the
competition for many of us. Because they are completely and totally
