already there and Scott Angel would get there just as I launched. The Eliminator
launch is at three thousand feet most of the way up Rattlesnake... mehr

In den Sommermonaten steigt über den Alpen warme Luft auf und zieht einen verläßlichen Luftstrom aus dem Flachland ins Gebirge. In den Nordalpen kommt dieser Luftstrom aus Bayern, drum heißt er auch bayerischer Wind…
Für Nordstartplätze ist der ‘Bayerische’ äußerst praktisch: Scheint die Sonne, kommt der Wind von vorne.... mehr

Fliegen wie ein Vogel, die Perspektive aus großer Höhe genießen ? das war ein Traum, den Wilfried Küchenthal lange Jahre hegte. Bis zu jenem einschneidenden Tag vor zehn Jahren, als eine Kundin seinen Laden betrat und nach einer Gleitschirmzeitung fragte.

We're at the beach at the Carpinteria State Beach Park and
learning to deal with California's camping/RV Park reservation system. Combine a

paranoia as I approached it from Sparks a few weeks ago. The beat of life
increases and the tension rises. Everything just comes at you a lot quicker. You
have to get up to speed just to stand still.
I do my best to stay away from urban areas and population concentrations to... mehr

So how long did you soar for? I hadn't heard that question in a
long time. It is basically meaningless wherever I go to fly, but it came back
