Flying sites in Pacific NorthWest:
Where to learn Hang Gliding in Pacific Northwest:
I arrived Bingen, Washington at 1:30pm today and it was already blowing west 10-13mph at the LZ. Launch wasn't that windy when I got ready to launch at 3:40pm (Approx 5-10mph), however the cycles was gusty and very unstable that I having a hard time to level my wing. I got up above launch in pretty rowdy thermals and flew for 1.5 hrs alone. I was able ascending up to 1,000 ft above launch and cross the valley to the hospital ridge. Thermals were really punchy during my whole flight until I flew over to the LZ and the river. It was very windy at the LZ and l see Kite-boarders were out at Hood River. I landed on the new field for the first time (photos and Video below). Rob Andrews decided not to fly. Thanks to Tim Bugge for coming out to drive and hike!
