Hang Gliding!

[MasterBlaster]

So is using body english the key to hang gliding like an expert Treetx?

I know it's the key to riding a watercooled 250R 3 wheeler in the desert.

Guy must've lied about his weight.

 

[treetx]

I have a buddy who is a tandem pilot. Before every flight, they ask the passenger their weight. He said in every case guys lie about their weight far more than women.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm thinking it was a blind pilot!

 

[Benjo75]

Not a Hang Glider but it's been one of my hobbies for the last 15 years.

 

[FireFighterZero]

What the hell is it??

 

[DMc]

Powered Paraglider, nice!

 

[MasterBlaster]

A suicide machine!!!

 

[DMc]

15 years and still ticking. Paragliding is something I still hope to do someday.

 

[Benjo75]

Yep. Ppg. It's as safe as anything else I do. Pretty cheap mode of transportation too. 90 miles on 3 gallons.

What the hell is it??

Hedge trimmer!

 

[treetx]

PPG rocks. I just don't have the time and am pretty addicted to my HG.

I guess you fly with Britton?

 

[Benjo75]

Yeah. Used to. He's the one that trained me. Spent quite a bit of time at the sod farms years ago. Right now it's just an expensive leaf blower. I haven't had time to fly in a while.

 

[Burnham]

Wowie zowie.

 

[treetx]

Not bragging (warning, here comes bragging) but guess who has the longest HG flight of 2023 in North America? Lol Only 171 straight line miles. More a reflection of the poor flying conditions this yr than my good flying.

My boss when I first worked in Schweiz got caught in a minor storm and ended up near Munchen ( can't find the umlaut on my phone!!)
Had a hard time making his pick up car ( me) believe him.
