Tavis X/C Skyport - Fillmore, Thursday

Postby NMERider » Fri Nov 06, 2015 1:32 pm

'Hawaii Five-O' to Tavis for his first flight to Fillmore! http://www.paraglidingforum.com/leonardo/flight/1293920
44.5 miles in 3:05:12 on his UP Trango XC3.

Wednesday evening I gave him my tuppence-worth on the forecast and Dr Jack's NAM BLIPMap was spot on weather-wise. Tavis' X/C speed was very good too. He caught the bus to Carpenteria and sd gave him a ride back to his truck parked at Parma. It's funny writing this as an HG pilot and knowing what a PITA it is to do solo X/C. I guess it's time I took up Dizzy on his offer to borrow his old gear and start kiting. :lol:
