We’ve been out flying and teaching a lot in the last several weeks with the weather treating us nicely here in Oregon. Lots of fun flights in different locations for myself and our students, but one flight this past Sunday has been truly amazing and memorable.

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!

October Highlights

Posted on October 23, 2012 in Maren Ludwig   

October has produced quite a few great flying days here in the Pacific Northwest and given us the opportunity to do some free flying on the coast and both PG and PPG in the Columbia Gorge. We have been training using our tow system on the beach and doing some motor flying/training in a few different locations. Our newest motoring location is a spot that we just recently discovered and provides nice and easy conditions for the students, and great views of the Columbia River and Mt. St. Helen’s. Pretty cool to see lots of big ships moving by from so close up.

Exciting weekend flying the Columbia River Gorge

Posted on October 09, 2012 in Maren Ludwig   

Just got home from a really fun and exciting weekend flying in the Columbia River Gorge on a combined motoring and free flying trip. Our students as well as myself got rewarded with plenty of airtime and some incredibly nice October weather. The site is on the desert side of the Gorge with some striking landscapes and really cool rock formations. I always love flying the coast, but it was very nice to have such a dramatic change of scenery.

A busy but fun couple of weeks

Posted on July 06, 2012 in Maren Ludwig   

It’s been a really busy and fun couple of weeks with lots of tandem flights, student training, some ridge soaring on our local sand dunes and some really great motor flights as well. Pretty exciting and rewarding to be responsible for people’s first paragliding flights, either solo and tandem and to see all those huge smiles. Makes you feel pretty lucky for sure.

Got a nice motor flight in this morning just a little ways inland from the coast. Really pretty flying over all these yellow patches with the scotch broom blooming bright yellow.
