I"m going to have to man up and go back to midday flying if i want to avoid this.

[DAVE 858]

I dont know why people fret about a little airtraffic. Maybe Im used to it from skydiving where you have no choice but to be in the sky with a bunch of other people all trying to get to the same place. I personally find it quite fun to maneuver through the sea of bags.

Here is my vid from last years Rat Race.

I liked your video Dave858,though something was different in the landing paddock, its like there was something missing? . I reckon that any HG trapped on my 600 ft hill, flying at min sink, 300ft above the top with an ever increasing PG bags would not be having fun! Personally i couldn"t wait for my "ticket", to finally get away and totally relax.

Hey Charlie, is that Australia? Looks like a beautiful place to fly!

[Charlie Romeo]

Yes Baitrunner, beautiful country and people, Austrailia's Woodstock- the Aquarius Festival happened in this area. In hindsight should i have made a more PG friendly video, afterall our club is now 10:1 PG to HG, i'm old school and still got issues with the slow demise of HG for the inferior(my prejudice) soaring chute's.

I very much enjoy flying with many other HG's and/or PG's.
I took lessons and got my P2 as well, however it's not really for me....I may at some point get back into it. But for now I like sharing the skies with anyone. When there are lots of PG's around it feels like swimming in an ocean filled with jellyfish
Thanks for the video, nice to see some warmth and greenery

[Charlie Romeo]

Thanks Felix, the club now couldn't function without the PG 's, its almost a PG club with a 10/15% HG. They are a fun and supportive bunch and good to call them mates. It was nice to get away from them though
. Very comfortable climate here... We live about the same distance from the equator as Orlando Florida, except in the sth hemisphere
