for hang gliding competition (because I don't put a time in for them), I do have

The front came through during the night and the clouds were thick
in the morning. But as the front proceeded further south during the late morning
the blue behind it began to dominate. The winds were 10 mph out of the

my Falcon 3 195 hang glider when I spotted what I thought was a gaggle of turkey

Our quest to break Jonny and Dustin's record didn't work out to say the least.
Alex Cuddy launched first at 10:40 AM and didn't get anything and landed ten

(2,600' vs. 3,600') and then I... mehr
