Mid level clouds covered Quest Air both Monday and Tuesday until
late in the afternoon. Then they dissipated and we had blue sky overhead, which
got us to get in the air quickly and we successfully soared.I took the new Wills Wing T2C 144 with add on tips, carbon inserts, and eight
additional 1/8 battens for an hour flight in smooth... mehr

I don't just report on competitions (and other areas of hang
gliding), Also use the Oz Report and things I find out because I am reporting to
push for changes in the competition systems. You'll notice that there was a long
list of improvements that could be made to the 2015 Worlds in the last issue of
the Oz Report (along with a report about... mehr

He is looking for your help, as are we.Why should you support the Oz Report? Because, despite many other sources of
hang gliding news there is nothing that is as comprehensive as the Oz Report.
Without the Oz Report you would just not hear about news that will turn out to
be interesting and eventually important to you. You know about things... mehr

Finally, the Birdman, a long running saga (see below), went to

Mart Frutiger, the Quest Air manager, couldn't resist a half

He is looking for your help, as are we.
As Belinda and I were in Valle de Bravo, Mexico to help with and cover the 2014

There is almost always food available for pilots at Quest Air. Great to see
George here cooking as we drove in from flying back from Valle de Bravo on
Sunday. What a great day at Quest Air. The place was packed. Many tandems. New
toys for boys and girls. mehr

Many in goal. The goal was a long ways away so we didn't drive three hours to
it. Apparently there are hot springs nearby which was the draw.
