Tuesday, October 31, 2006. Weekend at Lookout Mountain Oct 27-30 2006. Friday- Rain all day. Saturday- Totally blown out (but 3 pilots refused to believe it). Sunday- Ratty and stable (at the same time! A couple rigids flew. Monday- Decent day later, too stable before 2pm (which of course is when we had to leave by!

Wednesday, September 27, 2006. I went towards the saddle and started to get some beepings so I did a 360 below the ridge and gained 20 feet, then another, and another, and soon I was 600' over! Posted by Linda Salamone at Wednesday, September 27, 2006. Saturday, September 02, 2006. And then Mikey and I got going on a problem I was having with my harness. Once we started, there seemed to be no end to the things that needed fixing. Just like Tom Lanning says- you don't buy a harness nowadays, you b...So tw...

Wednesday, April 26, 2006. I am so bummed I have to try to write this all again. It's never quite as good the second time around! There was an error when I tried to post on Monday and I was unable (even with the help of my IT guy) to recover it. Task 4: a "box the swamp" like last year. Mark predicted this would be the task today and his Tarot Card mind was ON IT! He really needs to retire since that experience will be tough to top!

Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Monday March 27 2006. Here I was with warm hands, face and head. with the fronts of my thighs just about frostbitten! Oh and my hips were killing me! But the air was so big, not scary- except the edges were a bit 'over the falls' - I knew I had Ron the Hang2 beat in altitude, my work here was done- so I went to land on top. Not so easy! So I got my hour, Ron got like 3.5! Oh and Ron never noticed his new bird friend at all! Posted by Linda Salamone at Tuesday, March 28, 2006.

Monday, July 31, 2006. I don't know which to start with, the flight or Scott. I guess I'll start with the flight for 2 reasons: #1. even Scott would say flying comes first, and #2. you can all stop reading after the flight if you don't want to hear stuff about someone you didn't know. There was a severe t-storm warning for the area according to Accuweather, but I figured I wasn't ready to leave the people that shared my sorrow so we stayed nearby to fly there. Harry S was setting up a Fledgling(? Saw a l...

Monday, June 19, 2006. She was all over me at the Worlds. Pursuing me day and night (even dressing like me! It began tender and sweet. And then she got very aggressive. I finally gave myself over to her. And then- heartbreak- I caught her starting up with someone else. And now all I have are the memories of what once was.

Monday, November 28, 2005. Posted by Linda Salamone at Monday, November 28, 2005. Wednesday, November 23, 2005. Okay so we had a big. Flying weekend on November 19th and 20th. After that climb I was very cold and decided to go land, but that was sort of a problem. It seemed impossible to find any sinking air. Sometimes it was blowing very strong, over 20mph, and once I had some penetration issues as I made my way to the gliderport. Posted by Linda Salamone at Wednesday, November 23, 2005.

Thursday, February 16, 2006. I was out of town for a bit- looks like I missed a snowstorm! It was 90 degrees in LA on Monday. I wasn't right in LA but in Long Beach- remember I had that one day to fly out in California and I was searching for a way to hook up and fly? Well it worked out great! Seeing a PG in the air with not trouble penetrating was great! Later in the LZ he asked why I turned away! He wanted to come up underneath me! So the 2 plus hours back to Long Beach were mainly my cousin raving abo...
