Where to learn Hang Gliding in Pacific Northwest:

9/24/18  Rampart  (2 hrs flight)
It was beautiful sunny weather today at Rampart. The seven of us hang gliders showed up: Justin Himes, Robin Briejer, Jimmy D. Culler, Sara Fort, Luis Ramos, Stas, and myself. Although the weather was great and good launch cycles, however it not so much for good thermals which made it quite challenging as we worked to stay up.  Lifts were rough, broken and weak..... I was last to punch off at 3:30 and flew for 2 hrs. It did take me a while to get above launch. I were able to reached over 6,000 ft. and  made it above the first wall.  Thanks to Justin, Jimmy, and Robin for the drive up. Congrats to Sara Fort for getting her first flight at Rampart. PS.  Luis FB have more videos and pictures.

9/25/18 Dog (2 hrs)
Andrey, Aaron R, myself and visitor pilots Rudy and Sara all had a nice soaring flights at Dog today. The winds was light SW cross at launch. However, the  thermals let us fly from 3 till sunset. I launched first at 3:15 and flew for 2hrs.

9/26/18 Dog (1 hour)
Sara , Rudy , Stas, Ron Barbera and me.
