Greetings: I live in Tempe, and would like to start flying the paragliding sites in your area. I am a current USHGA member with a P3 rating. I am fairly experienced with a lot of time flying at Torrey Pines as well as experince flying at Crestline, Marshall, Kagel, Horse Canyon and Lake Elsinore, in southern CA, and also up at the Craters at Flagstaff. Can we count South Mountain here in PHX also? I have flown in moderate to strong thermal conditions but I like those evening glass offs better. I am interested in flying all of your paragliding sites with a "guide" from one or more of your local club members. I am sure I will be wanting to join your club and I want to come fly with you so that you can see that I put safe flying number one on my list and am worthy to be accepted into your club. I am currently unemployed and can drive down and meet up with someone during the week as well as the weekend.

Looking forard to flying with you guys.

Jim Eskildsen
