PILOT'S CORNER

We can be proud – Sky paragliders are one of the most beautiful brands on market. But there are Sky gliders which are especially nice!

A great week in Meduno and Pieve d Alpago. 5 days full of incredible flights in good thermal conditions :-D

..here are some pictures of ATIS above Sacered Valley (near Cuzco).. greetings, Peter Chrzanowski :-)

Sky Paragliders have just moved into their new factory and office complex and to mark the occasion both Tim King and myself (as well as 160 other people) were invited to the opening to discover what goes into designing and manufacturing paragliders and to party until the early hours.

In german we have sometimes the saying – someone is a wild dog\" – this pilot is really a wild dog – but his passenger Daniel helped him to make nice flight…

The end of season – tour to Turkey is already very classic – we are enjoying to come to Turkey in this time; sea is nice, perfect flying conditions, but just a liitle bit too croudy for relaxing flying and landing…

Because we had very nice weather we decided to fasten up the packing - and we went to Pöls, a very small but nice flying site.

St. Albert’s Mission, Zimbabwe’s premier site, on the extraordinary Zambezi Escarpment. We arrive as the first cumuli are popping overhead. It’s the dry season, no rain has fallen here for months, and below us the flat valley floor has been burnt by the sun until only various hues of brown remain. Visibility is poor and the panorama fades into the haze at about 35 km’s. Thermals are ripping up the cliff in front of the launch area. Surrounding us, the mud huts with their thatched roofs blend into the dry and dusty landscape. Children are gathering to watch, chattering and laughing at our pre-flight antics.

After ice balls and rain in Kobarid we went to Lijak – it was the ebst decision ever! Once in the air it was hard to come down – we enjoyed it much!
