American pilots are flatland pilots


I've flown in Chelan, Washington, Golden, BC, Zapata, Hearne and
Big Spring, Texas, Florida, Georgia, the Okanogan, Canada, Maryland, Delaware,
Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Kansas, Iowa, Jackson Hole. Wyoming,
Rondanillo, Colombia, Canoa, Ecuador, Tiger Mountain, Washington, other mountain
launch sites in Washington, Pine Mountain, Oregon, seaside sites in Oregon, Andy
Jackson flight park, California, Elsinore, California, Sylmar, California,
Eliminator, Santa Barbara, California, Montecucco, Italy, Switzerland, Annecy,
France, Germany, New York, Greifenburg, Austria, France, Tekoa, Washington,
Dinosaur, Colorado, Point of the Mountain and other sites in Utah, Sun Valley,
Idaho, Sandia, New Mexico, Forbes and Hay and Gulgong, and Bald Hill and Hill
60. and Emu and Bright, Australia.

95% - 99% of my flying has been over flat lands even when I have for the most
past taken off from hill sides. I have flown in the Alps, but that is by far the
exception in my flying experience. In the US you just don't have the Alps, which
offer a much different flying experience than what you find in the US. American
pilots do not have the reserve of experience that makes it much easier for
Italian, Swiss, and French pilots to fly in the Alps.

The Italians have the obvious advantage of flying in their own country (plus the
ones right next to them). When we held the 2007 in Big Spring, Attila had the
obvious advantage of flying in country side much like the Australian outback.

John Simon won one day at the Worlds when he could fly in the flatlands.
