Yellow Arcus (large), harness, reserve, vario
Rick Spriggs would like to sell his paragliding equipment. His setup includes a yellow Arcus glider (DHV-1) (large), with harness, reserve, and fly-tech vario. I'm thinking $1000 for the whole rig. Contact David Cook cell: 520.591.0108 email: davidcook at arizonasky.com Here is a picture of Rick and...

more interesting pictures
Of all the things we do to fly these things. I couldn't help but think of this power point file titled "why women live longer than men". It has nothing to do with flying, but it's pretty funny anyway. Enjoy!

local soaring
Fred, it's looking like a great day for some mellow valley-thermal soaring on Saturday. How is your schedule between 11 and 3? I had multiple 7 to 10 minute power off climbs during the hour from 3 to 4pm last Friday after work while playing around in docile mixing. Each climb was good for about 500 ...

This is very sad news, indeed. Alan got involved in many aspects of motoring, including leadership in the USPPA, and was at almost all major fly-ins. Mike W., Albert, Ed, and myself all were very well acquainted with Allen through motoring fly-ins and his visits to Phoenix. Very friendly, colorful, ...

Ed and I saw John in the LZ when we arrived at Box, but Gunter had already left. Ed had already been hiking for a while by the time I got started, and he was laying his glider out on the SW side of the first knoll when I arrived just in time to help him move to the NW side as the wind switched. A su...

Thanks for letting me crash the party. I have been looking on and off for quite a while for a weekend with a high probability of soaring the Mustangs and decided conditions looked pretty good for Saturday (single digit winds through 6000 feet mostly from the west). I checked this board and saw that ...

I thought about a trip to Sonoita this weekend on Saturday for a mid-day flight off Mustangs, but the FSL soundings looked a little strong down that way which made the proposition look a little iffy. Instead, I launched with the motor from 1700 feet MSL at 2pm from the valley about a mile or two sou...

Saturday motor-tow soaring flight
I went to the east of the interstate in the Marana area to thermal with motor-tow on Saturday from one of my favorite valley sites. It abuts miles of saguaro filled desert on it's east side and miles of irrigated farmland on its west. I arrived at around 2pm. The wind was going from gravity sock to ...

Alberto
Alberto, Let me know if you want to do a little valley thermaling using your motor for a tow. I'm out around noon every Saturday and every other Friday, weather permitting. I'm also out early, as well, if you prefer the stability of flying under Tucson's deep, early morning inversion. I think you ma...

still around
I talked to John Lowery this week and he wondered where I had been. I haven't made it to a meeting since the first of the year while I have been catching up on other Tuesday night priorities that I ignored last year. I've been flying quite a bit, soaring on the weekends and carving smooth air before...
