http://www.hanggliding.org/viewtopic.php?t=37049 Possible the Greatest Flying moment of my flying career NMERider - 2021/05/17 23:30:53 UTC Well, your TBI rehabilitation helped at least one other pilot who, along with his wife, benefited from your sister's knowledge of TBI recovery. In fact I ran in...
Re: birds
Went around the corner again Monday afternoon to monitor the Cicada action. Started seeing scores of them smashed on the asphalt - along with a small Garter Snake. Rescued a few of the insects until I was out of steam and had to turn back. I tossed one rescue back towards a tree and it would be the ...
Re: birds
Speaking of pretty cool... While the temperature had been pretty benign I hadn't planned on being out anywhere near that long and had gotten a bit chilled. Packed up my gear, started walking home, got about twenty-five yards, stopped and picked up a Cicada from the middle of the street. Also chilled...
Re: birds
The 23:54 EDT three minute flyover calendar day was over, the night wasn't. Wanted to do another Jupiter-Saturn from my East Spot so back out on foot with four layers at probably a bit after 04:00. Got my targets no problem, some little wisps of high clouds would dim and fuzz them from time to time,...
Re: birds
2021/05/15 - third night in a row. Back on station, get all my boxes checked. There's a stable/stationary low cloud mass running a few degrees above the horizon to the NW so I won't be getting proper sets. Venus gets eaten. A car pulls in and parks behind mine. Young female driver emerges, says she'...
Re: birds
Well, that was kinda fun - and it's nice this time of year not finishing up half dead from hypothermia. Let's try it again the next evening - 2021/05/14. The Moon's a day fuller and a lot higher, Mercury and Venus are a little higher. Get on station with lotsa light left, know where to find things a...
Re: birds

I'd started noticing Saturn appearing out the front / East facing window and through the gap in the tree canopy some months back in early morning insomnia hours some weeks ago but h...

http://www.facebook.com/ Fabio Giongo - 2021/05 That day, for Enzo it was the second flight of the day, at 83 years old it seems that he left without hooking up, Federico told me with tone of surprise and perplexity, implying "how can you forget the hookup?" Why does anyone in this sport w...

Re: You are NEVER hooked in.
NMERider - 2021/05/12 16:57:46 UTC There was a previous fatal FTHI on April 16 at the same launch... Absolutely incredible. We go almost exactly nine years without a fatal and then kill a solo and half a tandem at the same launch in the blink of an eye. Federico told me with tone of surprise and pe...
