Summer Flying

The monsoons started a little early and continue now into August. Whale mountain is flyable every morning and there's been a few XC flights there so far. Villa however has been sporatic with good days and also days where the wind has been over the back or wet. Its an off year compared to last year but the fall is coming - typically our best months for flying in the Colorado mountains.

Steamboat Springs has been "on" and Roberto Frias has been showing everyone the XC potential that can be had. Thanks to him and others we had a nice time this past weekend.

Colorado Fly Week - 2012 (June 30th - July 7th) held in Villa Grove, Colorado was a huge success due to the months of planning and preparing by Tiffanie and Larry. It was flyable every day accomodating 134 pilots who flew during the event. Some pilots flew XC (Scott Huber flew to Taos, NM) while others stayed close to launch. Tiffanie's organization skills garnered up food vendors, cash bar and nightly entertainment. Hang glider and paraglider pilots from all over the country made it the largest in the country this year. http://ozreport.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28949
