Re: A mt Winter thermals
Hi Eric, Sounds like you had a blast at the "A", wish I could have been there to observe. I would like to visit AZ again but not sure when that may be. I went to San Bernardino last March for two weeks and loved the Crestline site. Was hoping to return this year but may not be able to until the insu...

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Hello Tucson pilots and friends. Hope you are all keeping well and flying has been good. It’s been almost 2 years since I have been to Arizona and am considering a visit in January so perhaps we can hook up (hook in) again. Cheers Tom Morrison 613-229-6499

I think it would be a good idea that anytime we go to Miler to fly in the immediate future that landscaping tools (picks, shovels, rakes etc,) find their way up to launch. We have an opportunity to make improvements to this premier site. Everything we saw on Sunday that could possibly interfere with...

Thank you Rafael, Scott and John for your positive input which helps put the accident in perspective.. I have been beating myself up all week over this unnecessary crash and at one point considered retiring from the sport that I have been doing since the 80’s. Well after giving it considerable thoug...

Tom's Blown Launch at Box
John Lowrey picked me up at noon Tuesday and we headed to Box Canyon. The conditions were good and I was looking forward to getting back in the air since my last trip September 2010 (18 months ago). We went to the LZ first where John explained the best place to do a final approach. We checked the wi...

For sure Whitney, If I’m not flying, sightseeing or learning to play golf I would love to meet for lunch. Perhaps we could assemble a few people and have a drink at one of Tucsons finest establishments. Hey Whitney, do you still have that boom box I borrowed from you last time? If so could I borrow ...

My Trip to Tucson, Arizona
Hi Folks, My bags are packed and will be heading to the airport in the morning for a month long trip to Tucson. Looking forward to seeing everyone again and hope to get some air time. Too bad about Miller still being closed but those are the breaks. I have been watching U-Tube videos of Mingus and t...

Very bad news indeed. Between Miller being closed and Eric Smith being away in New York State, it looks like my hangliding trip in April will be more of the sightseeing type. Perhaps a few trips to the Phoenix area to fly might work if anyone wants to fly there. I should be available to drive for PG...

32 degrees!! Come on Rafael, that’s Canadian shorts weather! If I was in Arizona I’d be there in a heart beat. I will be spending the month of April in Tucson and look forward to seeing you all again and catching up. It’s been a long time since my last trip and I miss you guys. I sure hope Miller is...

Thanks for the update John. I always enjoy hearing about good flying days. Miller Canyon is most definitely my favorite site. I’m still buzzing about the flight with Eric Smith last September making it all the way to Carr Peak. I wish I was there Saturday with you guys, it sounded great. See you in ...

Hi Aaron, Your pictures from Mexico are amaizing! I have been flying hangliders since 1979 and after viewing pictures from your Mexico trip I may consider paragliding some day. I just finished clearing the driveway of snow after a rather large accumulation last evening, needless to say this most def...
