Hello guys, I am very happy to announce that today I received my membership card from USHGA!, That means that now I can legally fly with my hanglider in USA!.
:( unfortunatelly, I have my Grand Cherokee with the mechanic, and I just have an accident with my bicycle. But I hope that from August 7 I can return to the skies to continue learning the birds techniques.

Summer flying

Jorge-

Keep an eye on the message board to see when and where people are going flying. Most of the flying this time of year is at Miller Canyon near Sierra Vista. This is a pretty difficult mountain site. What type of glider are you flying and what is your experience?

Hello Fred, my hangglider it's a Moyes, Im H2.
I have been flying at Packsaddle near Austin Tx. At Monterrey on "El mirador", and also at "Valle del Bravo, Estado de México.
I hope, some one can fly this weekend to join them. Also, I'm planning to join SAHGA.

Miller

Jorge-

Miller is not really an H2 site, though it can be flown by an H2 in mild conditions with supervision. There is a good description of Miller and all our flying sites at the club website www.sahga.com. There is also a link to our local hang gliding instructor, Eric Smith, on the website. Eric often goes out to Miller Saturday mornings. The website also has the location and time of the monthly club meeting (the next is this Tuesday). We'll look forward to seeing you either at the meeting or at the flying site.
