Once again spring has come on big at Villa. Several great flights there since the end of March. Rick Maddy and I flew April 17th and had a great flight up near cloudbase. The air was a little rough down low but smoother as I climbed up to 15,000ft. I still haven't edited my video(s) from this year yet. Here's a photo from a flight last fall.

Greg and I helped Larry rebuild the hang gliding launch and are openning a second and third launch in preparation for Colorado Fly Week, June 30th through July 7th (page 21 of the May issue of Hang Gliding and Paragliding Magazine).

TTT Team Challenge

A little out of order but so what. My longest road trip last fall was to participate in the TTT Team Challenge with Rick Maddy and JJ. We camped up near the club house and pavilion. It was a great trip and Hensons Gap is a GREAT place to fly. TTT is probably the most organized well run hang gliding club in the country. Breakfast and dinner provided. Flying by day with various presentations at night by well known XC pilots. We flew in teams, each guiding the other to their respective goals (different for each pilot). I made my 20 mile out and return plus several other flights during the course of the week.

The country side at Hensons gap is beautiful and full of landing areas. Here's a link to a short video. http://vimeo.com/34757492
