Casa Grande was the nation’s first archaeological preserve, an earth-colored fortress of wonder set aside in 1892. For years, visitors flocked to this desert monument, as much a part of the culture of our land as anything built by bewigged colonists in... mehr

We don't ask for much, but we are among many worthies who ask for your support. A mere pittance at $20/year for your subscription/donation to the Oz Report, but you have other mouths to feed. Or we assume that you do.
It is not reasonable that we ask for your support? Sure the internet is full of wonderful sites that are making money hand over... mehr

Left my 9-year-old at Bloomingdale's (the original one) a couple weeks ago. Last seen, he was in first floor handbags as I sashayed out the door. Bye-bye! Have fun! And he did. He came home on the subway and bus by himself.
Was I worried? Yes, a tinge. But it didn't strike... mehr

I have been pretty well out of action now for nearly a year having only flown 3 times in the last little while due to other pressing commitments. Two of those flights were on the same day with low weak link breaks that I never got away from.
After checking out the RASP (BLIPMAPS -... mehr

Congratulations to Craig, Phil and Olli. Mt Bogong is a magic spot. It has been twenty five years since John Penery and I overnighted on Bogong after launching from Buffalo. From the archives: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~blenkinsop/Bogong photo album.pps. mehr

I was surfing for images of exotic trikes when I came across this circular wing. Unfortunately, there is no information on it in that web page:

Seero - the new live geo-located video broadcasting site, which GEB mentioned two weeks ago went out of beta, has now released some KML content for their site that has interesting implications. First, they have KML files for each... mehr

Oz Report readers continue to send in subscription/donations to us via PayPal and we really appreciate it. I haven't received the mail yet (except for a few letters last week), as it has to be forwarded from my Pensacola, Florida forwarding address to my father-in-law's in Cathedral City, CA. Thanks to all of you who understand the need to... mehr

The weather here in Bright, Victoria, Australia has been awesome the last week. Nearly no wind, smooth 3 m/s thermals, lift up to the clouds everywhere.

The other day Craig Collins, Phil Schroeder and I flew from Mystic to Mt. Bogong (second highest peak in Australia) and landed on top. Craig in his... mehr

I can't help but feel that the comments from Vicky, Gerolf and Steve Moyes are somewhat misleading and unfair, especially if they are intended to suggest that Moyes is the only company to innovate in hang gliding design, and that everyone else is merely copying.
As a matter of history, Moyes did not... mehr

This is a new young hang glider pilot, trained by his dad, an old timer on hang gliding and parachuting. They were doing his first high altitude flight on an old Airwave Vision. As you can see, just as soon as the pilot is aloft, one of the side cables snaps and the pilot crashes hard just... mehr

I wrote this little app which can be very useful for hang gliding and paragliding pilots. It broadcasts SMS with pilot position and allows a ground crew to locate the sender. I'd like to run a beta test for it and probe for feedback.
I have been beta testing this utility.... mehr
