Crestline 10-1-2008Wednesday, October 01, 2008 Another great day flying with Dusty, Jack, Kim, Bruce and Dave. Lots of lift east of the cut-off 12K Max. Dusty captured some more airline pictures. Forums > Pilot Reports Flight > HG Sites > Crestline Great flying MarkYesterday you saw Alaska Air at work. Today I visited a Corporate Jet at 10K.
wohoo!Nice Job getting to 12k again today Mark. I could only get 9100 ft. ...I know, I know ONLY 9100 ft! It was a fun day indeed. My report: http://www.designbydave.net/blog/2008/10/another-nice-day.html
-Dave not sans SansOwen and I flew east and tagged San Gorgonio then south to San Jacinto then a long smooth lift free glide to indio. no camera dangit, incredible views. thanks wally! yeeha!what a fun day! a number of firsts for me today... looked down onto san gorgonio, san jacinto, and shared a thermal with four sailplanes! thank you dan and wally, you guys are first class. in an effort to turn mountain bikers into mountain flyers, i've been posting my flights to the website geoladders.com http://www.geoladders.com/gps_route_racer.php?route_id=18096 it's a free website, i don't think you need to log in first to view flights/rides, but i could be wrong. if you are into mountain biking, it is an amazing resource! Geoladders & LeonardoOwen - I've seen your So Cal X-C winning flight on geoladders before and was wondering why the heck you were posting your HG flight on an MTB forum. Have you received any inquiries from any MTBs? I used to be an MTB and would see guys flying from Mt. Wilson back in the late '80s. I just started using leonardo on the PG Forum. I think it's a great place to post and share flight data and descriptions. http://www.paraglidingforum.com/modules.php?name=leonardo&op=list_flights&pilotID=0_13416
inquiriesabout once a month i'll get a message from a mountain biker asking me about hang gliding. it's my own personal outreach program. it seems to me that there is a fair amount of crossover among participants between the two sports... hang gliding just needs more exposure. coolyou guys are cool! Did you stay together the whole time? What was the total distance? 70 miles? -Dave Near MissAnother close one 11000 over Lake Gregory and A Southwest 737 coolAwsum flight log rebardan and owen !! it's a big skydan and i flew basically the same route, at the same time. i got a jump on him right from the start (i can set up my wing a little faster!) and although we were in radio contact with one another, i never saw him! on final glide, dan was able to fly about five miles farther, landing in indio, 75 miles from crestline....
about five miles fartherI believe that’s about $2000 a mile in differential glider costs. Way to save Owen! do the mathdivide the total xc miles into the cost of the glider and the figure plummets like a yella paraglider flying into a 10 mph wind. Was wondering what you Was wondering what you were flying. -Peter S |

Nice!
Thanks. I've been itching to read a report today. I was too run down to fly again today. Can't wait to read some more and see pix.
