Sounds interesting. Can’t wait to see them next time.

The training hill is on land owned by:
Encore University Hills, LLC, a Delaware Corporation. It was formed in 2021.
You would have to speak with their California or Delaware agents to learn anything further.

Must have been cold. According to SportsTrackLive, Jonathan got out and had himself a walk to warm up at Cajon Mountain

You’re not too far off!

Nice photos and flight gentlepilots!
I launched around 2:57 and flew a little under 3 hours covering 37 miles along 3 turn points. I did not allow myself to climb above 7,700′ due to hypothermia creeping in. Alex G flew a similar but larger circuit than mine having launched 2 hrs earlier but struggling for a while before getting under way.  The day was exactly what the NAM and ECMWF forecast models showed. I have the whole flight on video with stereo audio and when I get around to editing I’ll post it here.

Thanks Daniel,
How are you getting local NOTAM information?
BTW – I am an authorized NOTAM writer and can post directly to the database although I haven’t done so in the years I’ve had this access.

Hi Albert,
Stan, Jai Pal and myself spoke to the counsel on Zoom along with a retired CFI who welcomed us at KREI. No action will be taken until after an ad hoc committee meets between the CSS, RAA and the City AP Mgr. It was agreed that we all need to meet and communicate together so we can see what will actually work. The chair of the counsel requested the RAA find other existing municipal codes that deal with issues like this. The two that I know of are for different reasons.
AFAIK, the barbed wire topped fence around the adjacent property was not addressed and may continue for act as a trap for unsuspecting pilots.

I’m glad we had as much turnout as we did. For a change of pace I made it back to the LZ. 98 minutes in cold to freezing was enough for me.

Seriously, no pilot should be flying without an activated GPS tracker or a 406Mhz SARSAT beacon. The 2-meter radio is also a great idea. Better yet is for pilots to be a part of https://xcfind.paraglide.us/ and understand how to interact with the system and look for indication of incidents.

I flew with too large a glider on Thursday and paid the price. I was still able to cover a lot of terrain but got a little too ambitious and was 100′ too low by the afterbay to connect and get back up. Not matter. It was a fun flight with good views. I found a new field to land in too.
