MarshallSaturday 5/17Does anyone else see Saturday looking LARGE? Or am I licking my chops too early? Or am I just bitter over my latest sled ride....DOH! Joel visiting pilotHi PGs, Visiting pilot from Brazil wanna to fly Marshall would like to hook up with local Pgs pilots. I'm planing to drive from Phoenix AZ(that's were I'm leaving now) be there May 14,15th. I flown Marshall May 3rd with Rob from eagle Paragliding, Dean stratton and Josh Cosh, I love the site. You can replay here, but better will be at my cell is 480-266-6969 Andy Jackson Memorial Fly-In, Sept. 6, 2008The annual Andy Jackson Memorial Fly-In, celebrating the founder of our original airpark, will be held September 6, 2008. More details to follow. AJ Airpark Anniversary Fly-In, July 12, 2008Our first fly-in of the summer is scheduled for July 12, 2008. Details will be posted here - stay tuned! Marshall, Wed. 7 May 08At Noon, the 750 was out of the clouds and launchable. No lift to speak of. I only flew the first round, from the 750. Marshall - Saturday May 3rd, 2008From other postings it was good at Soboba and Kagel. But Marshall was great too. There we groups of pilots from Santa Barbara and Arizona. At 1pm I did an XC to the dam (see attached picture) with comfortables glides from about 8k altitudes. Flight gory details. Re-launched marshall around 4:30pm and flew in a blend of ridge lift and thermals with altitudes around 7k. Details. Marshall, Fri. 2 May 08Switching to onshore after a couple of days of light offshore winds. I decided I'd take my chances from the 750 and then hike back up to get my truck, for the exercise. I launched my Falcon 225 from the 750 at 13:10 and sank to the bluffs. Saw the flags at the LZ pointing to the SE and I found the thermal east of the LZ at 300 AGL. At 13:25 I was at about 8000 MSL. Flew out toward Little Mountain but found large areas of >700 FPM sink, so back to the hill. Gliders were launching from Marshall during this period; one had taken off and skied out just before I launched. I chased a weak one up to Cloud Peak, and once it got above there it turned on like a rocket. I was seeing 1000 FPM on my vario's averager with 1400 FPM peaks. It was cold at 8800! Flew to Pine and climbed some more, to 9000 before I just got too damn cold - short-sleeves, no gloves, white fingers that stayed dented when I let go of the basetube. |
