At the Wills Wing Party at Wallaby Ranch I spoke a little with
Scott Johnson, the US Airborne dealer,
www.usairborne.com. He
mentioned hunting for meteorites. A few days later I sent him a link to a
NY Times article about meteorites in Egypt.
This is what
grew out of that article. mehr

The flight.

On Sunday we got back to great tasking conditions. Very light winds, and good
looking cu's forming a little after one o'clock. Light lift east of Quest Air
but it improved and soon we were high enough to head south toward the first
turnpoint at Dean Still and highway 33 on our 80 kilometer triangle, an easy
task. Mark P. was... mehr

I counted sixteen gliders lined up as pilots waited for the cu's
to start popping:This has been the busiest Spring that I've ever witnessed at Quest Air, so hang
gliding may not be dying after all. Thirteen plus tandems last Saturday and more
today. Quest is in a very convenient spot to pick up Orlando customers.The cu's started late (1:30... mehr

The beautiful conditions continued here at Quest Air. Super light
winds. Cu's every where, sometimes pretty thick. It was heaven and it looks like
it will continue to be super nice here in central Florida.

Jamie Shelden and I agreed on a triangle task south to Dean Still and highway 33
intersection, over to Wallaby Ranch and back to Quest... mehr

It's a lot more fun than going it alone or just flying around
aimlessly with your buds
The light winds and sunny days have returned to Florida and that
encouraged all the gung ho cross country pilots here at Quest Air to get into
the air and to go for a task. The original forecast from a couple of days before
Thursday was for a nice south... mehr

We got in our first flights in the year, step-towing. It gives a

Flavio Tebaldi confirms that the airspace reconfiguration that
they achieved at Montecucco for the 2011 Worlds will be made "permanent." I put
that in quotes only because nothing is really permanent.The airspace changes give hang gliding pilots a little breathing room along the
