Many of you know I have been helping organize the Tennessee Tree
Toppers Team Challenge mentoring competition for many years now. The Team
Challenge is held in the beautiful Sequatchie Valley near Chattanooga,
Tennessee. We organize a week of a team format, educational competition with
mentoring from some of the best in the sport. Teams of 3 or 4 cross country
ready pilots are lead by experienced "A" level pilots for a week of XC flying
and educational seminars.

I am pleased to announce we will include paragliding teams in 2015. Yep, we are
recruiting world class mentors from both sports to lead teams and present
seminars and lectures during the week of Team Challenge. The TC lectures and
seminars will allow people to pick and choose to fit their areas of focus and
break out for small groups as needed.

This is a mountain foot launch competition featuring the famous Henson Gap
Radial Ramp. The best launch ramp on planet earth. Paraglider pilots will use
the adjacent slope launches managed by the Southern Para Pilots Association
which are walking distance from the hang gliding launches.

We encourage pilots not yet ready to go XC to join in, fly and learn along with
the competitors. TTT membership is required for flying the hang gliding sites
and will allow launch on the SPPA sites. SPPA membership is required for the
paragliding sites.

We will have on site catering of meals for a reasonable fee. On site camping is
free for competitors, TC members, volunteers and friends. I am recruiting hang
gliding mentors now for this August 16th through 22nd meet. Rick Jacob and David
Hanning are recruiting paragliding mentors to lead teams and seminars.

This will be the event of the year for a unique, fun and educational FreeFlight
adventure in 2015! I am so excited! Hang glider pilots can contact me, Erik
Grabowski, Eric Carden, Lucas Ridley, Bryson Harper and Tom Dwelley for more
information. Paraglider pilots will contact Rick Jacob of the TTT and SPPA. The
TTT site will soon be refreshed to reflect the schedule, updates and
registration for paraglider and hang glider pilots.

Plan your vacation schedule around this event! I can't wait!
