A lot of flying lately

As most of you know, I love paragliding ... Really...
But lately, flying was not really an option : The weather is not so good, my wing went to repair (I made a hole in it and I figured out that maybe it was not a good idea to fly with it), and my new wing has not arrived yet from Germany. I thus had to look for alternatives. It came from Arnel and Nova and few of their base jumper friends who sold us the idea to pay a visit to the site of IFLYSFBAY. Here is a little taste of what you can do there :-) Last Thursday we went with with the whole team of Top Gun :


See Olivier : This was his 1st session.

What a day !!! discovering Napa and Sonoma in a Cub

Yesterday, Paul had the great idea to take me for my first flight in a powered plane. Here are just few pictures. It was amazing !!!



Paul brought his Cub from Texas few weeks ago by flying it across the country. More about his adventure at wwww.adventurecub.com.




Thanks a lot Paul.


We took off from a small air field in Napa valley, flew for about 45 minutes in the wine area, flew over the Nascar circuit, and landed in the sonoma Airfield. After a good lunch we flew back and PAul gave me my first flying lesson : It is far from being as easy as it seems :-) But what a blast : We finally did a touch and go and concluded the day with cleaning parts of that fantastic machine. I must say, I got positively impressed how fun this was.












Isn't that cool ?

The apple break

Fortunatly we found a pub. Olivier is getting excited about the Ipod touch... Let see if we can do business.
