Event this weekend: Saturday 23 May 10 A.M. ; Funston (where else do you want to be?)
Hang Gliding training bowl orientation and trash pick-up.
Hi, I will be leading an orientation walk of the Fort Funston hang gliding training bowl Saturday. The site has four take-off areas to practice and train on; it’s a whole lot of fun and will make you a much better and safer pilot by flying there. Since I was appointed the training bowl director, I want to be sure everyone qualified has an opportunity to see the site and decide if it will work for them.
The walk up paths look very good now, the site is open and available to any USHPA Hang 1, fellow feathers waiver, with demonstrated skills in turns and cross wind landings. This is not a raw beginner site, the rule here is TOD (turn or die), In other words, never land in the surf. If you can’t turn, please don’t fly here.
Anyone interested can meet me Saturday at Funston about 10 AM. We will walk down to the beach and check out the entire training bowl area and pick up some trash along the way. Please bring plenty of water, its great exercise. See you there rain, fog or shine!
Best Regards
