RE: My first Cross Country flight Paragliding! Blossom Valley to El Cap! Highest altitude yet (Video)

in #video7 years ago

I am on track to get my certification up to level P3. This means that I will be able to fly at Torrey Pines glider port. I am just guessing, but I am thinking one month from now and I will be able to fly there. That is such a cool place to watch. They have a snack bar, and some benches. The real kicker is that there are guys that fly tandems. This means that you could go flying with one of the guys/girls. I will keep you posted as my sign off day gets closer.
One of the other things you could do if you really want to get in good with the local pilots is shuttle. There is a site called Palomar that is at the base of Palomar mountain not too far from the Pala Casino. You can give a lift up to the launch, or take someone else's car down after they fly ect. This was something that was recommended to me when I first started flying in March.
Thanks again for stoping by, and thanks for your generous up vote! See you in the air.

I've been to the Torrey Pines glider port many times, and love watching the flying.

Thanks for the tip about helping with shuttling... I'll keep that in mind.
