Spring arrives early!

Posted on March 22, 2013 in Maren Ludwig   

Spring arrived a little early in the Pacific Northwest with some great weather for both free flying and motoring. This last Saturday, one day before the time change, some local pilots were towing up over a local lake, others headed to the mountains to get some great thermal flying, while our group chose to go motoring! Our local, ‘just off the beach’ PPG site was warm and sunny with perfect winds. We had five in our group, all flying Parajets, playing around, enjoying the beautiful coastal scenery and the clear blue skies all day long. Fly, land, grab some food and warm up a bit, then get back into the air and do it again, and again, and again… Great to have a day to do nothing buy fly!

It was great to be able to share this incredible day with our friend Daniel who’s a visiting pilot from Costa Rica. Judging by the big smile on his face while flying around on a Parajet,  I think he had a ‘little bit’ of fun!

Some other recent highlights have been some paragliding soaring flights at some of our coastal soaring sites. Last weekend there were about 30 pilots showing up to fly several miles up and down some really spectacular cliffs. Really fun seeing so many familiar and a few new faces out that day and introducing some of our students to the site. Lots of big smiles that day too for sure.

It looks like our season is really getting started here and I’m looking forward to flying a lot more in the coming months. We have several new motor sites that we’ll be checking out too. Should be happening very soon.
