Crestline Soaring Society

Started by skateboarding to the M.A.R.T.A. bus stop at 40th and Waterman.
It arrived at 10:40 am and for $4.00 I was dropped off at Top town.
Then a 1.5? mile hike to launch (slightly uphill non-skateboard) Flew my Paraglider for well over an hour with a trip to Pine and a top landing.
Wrapped up the day around 4pm in the LZ.

Here's proof why the Falcon can be an effective XC machine: http://youtube.com/watch?v=BC2i2YAaE2U

The only other glider to make the trip 10 miles each way to/from Mt Lukens was a Litespeed RS4 and the Falcon caught up below the Litespeed on the way back.

Rod keep you RLF skills current we WILL fly Falcons from Big 'O' Loop to Sylmar.

... some bad news, "I think Dennis only has a broken arm, 3 broken ribs and a very black eye". Glad it wasn't worse than it is. Does anyone have more to add?
