More Google Earth flying info
Posted: Fri Jun 08, 2012 9:49 amGoogle Earth is the ultimate 3D map. Just finished a Google Earth .kmz file for the following:
SB West of 154 including marked Class C airspace for SBA, Casitas Pass to I-5(mostly taken from John Scott's Guide), Plowshares, Pine, Figueroa/Happy Canyon, Paradise Road, Bates Run, Owens Valley. If the launches existed on ParaglidingEarth.com then i put links to it on the balloons(except local SB launches).

Feel free to pass it around. I encourage you to make your own .kmz of your favorite routes/spots/tips and post them. Its fun and easy. Enjoy!
I owe a colassally indebted huge thanks to my mentor Robert Millington for taking me under his wing since day one, flying with me all over the place, and sharing his vast knowledge of flying especially in SB, Pine and the Owens. He was the first person to ever go XC in SB(from la cumbre to romero) back in the 70s. I admire his endless stoke for flying lap after lap in our hills. I couldnt ask for a better teacher. And to Little John, Scotty, and EJ, whose tails i have yet to catch. Those guys can go low like no other!
