Instructor Rich Cizauskas of Madison at the bottom of the training hill going over the basics. With the high winds we opted for the hill leaving the scooter tow in the hanger for the calmer days. In the yellow harness Steve Julik back for lessons after a 35-year hang gliding hiatus. And back for a second lesson Marty Vinson of La Crosse in the red jacket.


Students gradually worked their way to the top of the hill. Today was the inaugural flight of the Condor 225 pictured above.


Pictured above is Joe Julik (Steve's brother) coming in for a landing after his first Mosquito flight, the first one is always the hardest. Ask if he is going to go up again, he said "No thanks - I've had enough!" A good thing to quit while you are ahead with wind conditions not kind to personal aviation firsts. Joe has owned the Mosquito for a year and is very happy to finally know that it works as advertised.

Next Weekend! We will be out, even if the weather doesn't look perfect
