April 17, 2026 at 1:43 PM in reply to: 215 & University Parkway 55-Hour Closure for Final Work 4-17 to 4-20. #23708David Webb General MemberThanks Ken! You saved me some time tomorrow :)
David Webb General MemberWelcome Tony.
There will be folks flying today, and Sandy will be driving. Link to sign up for a seat here:

For the site intro, I’d recommend showing up to AJX early and ask a fellow pilot for one. Would also recommend reviewing the site guidelines and approach patterns on this site before you go.
Enjoy!
David Webb General MemberHeard around AJX yesterday that it’s like driving on asphalt :)
Also heard that he removed the dip/bump on launch – huge thanks for that one in particular.
David Webb General MemberAnother bump for the video posted above. I just had to fix the same concertina bag, and the same fix corrected the issue again. Looking at the post date above, looks like the first fix lasted almost 4 years. :)
David Webb General MemberHail, Brian! He did all of the install and ladder climbing so buy him a beer.
David Webb General MemberLooks like hangies had sub-style harnesses way before PG. Rigid torpedo-style harness with motorized bombay doors starting at around 8:12. I wanna see someone rocking one of those around the fishbowl. :)
David Webb General MemberThe Jerome School of Thermalling™ is still up and running :)
Enjoy the new chapter.
David Webb General MemberErick – 3 PG instructors/schools on the Instruction & Training page here offer PG tandems: Atmosphere Paragliding, FlyWithJordan, and NeverLand Paragliding. They all operate independently of the club, so reach out to them directly to set up a flight with your daughter. Enjoy!
David Webb General MemberHail, Albert. Takes guts to climb that ladder.
David Webb General MemberI’m definitely not knowledgeable on the topic, but I frequently see discussions about this pointing to the following Cloudbase Mayhem article. Seems fairly comprehensive and was updated earlier this year:
David Webb General MemberFor those that have downloaded this already, you may way to remove it and download again (using the link above, which I updated). Small tweak so it works better when your screen is locked (better behavior if you’re using it in the car).
David Webb General MemberAm definitely not there everyday, so can’t comment from a local’s perspective, but the last few times I’ve been, I haven’t noticed any significant flying insect annoyances – mosquito or otherwise. There was one day on Marshall launch which people experienced a black fly swarm of Biblical proportions, but seems like that was an out-of-the-blue weird occurrence.
Knock on wood, I haven’t seen any tick activity around AJX or the launches since I’ve been flying here.
David Webb General MemberOther note: it currently only returns 8-point compass direction for wind direction, but I will soon be updating the data to use 16 instead (so you’d get all of the SSW, NNE, etc directions). Coming soon.
David Webb General MemberBump on this topic, for anyone that isn’t seeing how to start new topics (see the first post above).
