Ron Peck, Doug Koch, Tony Lang, Delia White, Bill Warren, Sicko Wayne, Gary Pyles and Alison, Gun and Dana, Jim Shur, Jim Macklow, and new guys Smoky and Bill found great flying conditions with smooth thermals to 12,500' - oh ok, maybe just 12,000'.

Quite a few of our members are taking flying trips to beat the heat: Delia traveled to faraway France for some great paragliding in the Alps; Ron Peck and Tony Lang took their significant others north to Alaska to find some 50-75 degree temps and cool flying (see photo below of Ron soaring above snow-covered peaks), and Doug Koch and Wayne O'Sick went to the Owens for some awesome Memorial Day weekend hanggliding.
