So, how was it today?My best client Crazy Ivaned me this week with an expansion into a nearby building, so I spent the whole day on a couple of roofs, hooking up wireless equipment and looking at the beautiful sky. I had scheduled today for flying over a month ago, so please do me the next best and tell me how it was, so I can live vicariously through you. It sounds like the hill was crowded, if what I read about rides was any indication. I hope it was buoyant. Cheers, Forums > Pilot Reports Flight > HG Sites > Crestline let's do it againBitchin day. I bumped up against 8K and hit 7K a couple more times in a couple different places. Let's do it again today! 8-19-07It looked like a good PG day/early evening at Soboba today. I was returning from a long XC flight out of Elsinore when I passed quite a few PG working the S ridge after 6pm. Believe it or not I launched late from Elsinore and made it out to the Salton Sea and Chiraco summit via Anza and was able to make it back to Elsinore by way of the Banning pass and Soboba landing at 7:30pm. Not really that impressive considering the wing I was flying was a Cessna 150K with a 100hp continental. See you in the air, Alan 8-19-07 - MoreRE: alDpal - Alan, I can confirm the great day at Soboba for PG. Eight pilots met at 3:30 and were all in the air just after 5. Many 2 hour plus flights and most landed after 7. Mike has already posted to the Soboba web site http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sobobasoaring/message/554 No 100 hp assistance required :-) - Alan (not Dpal) John, I didn't launch untilJohn, |

execellent
I took the 11am McBus up because all others were full. It ended up being just me and Rob on the Tandem paraglider. Got to almost 6000 over Marshall a couple of times. Got a nice hour of smooth thermaling. I got a ride back up and launched again around 3:45 at Marshall. The house thermal was working consistently. The best part was that it was all Hang Gliders up there for a change, too windy for the bags. I ended up getting 2 hours and buzzed a spectator in a Jeep at the 750.
A great day
-Dave
