  Have you ever tangled with any of those infamous East Washington Dust 

devils ? 

  I haven't personally but no pilots who have..... Chelan WA is an 

Awesome area for

  XC Hang Gliding . Lots of open places to land and lots of Ripping 

Thermals to climb in....



 Friends have reported 1,500 to 2,000 fpm Climb rates... YAHOO 

 Now where did i put that chute handle 



  BTW on May 1 - 5th there will be a Speed Gliding Comp. their in 

Chelan... The event is essentially A

  Race course set up on the Mt side...  Course is  full of control gates 

 pilots must fly through in their Hang Gliders......



This is one of the longest running Events in  the US and Speeds of 80+ 

mph are reached in the race to the bottom...



  Makes quite the show if you standing at any of the control gates... 

Pilots will be diving past you just feet off the deck.....



A Pilot meeting is set for 7:30 AM, May 1, at Lakeside Park, Chelan, 

Washington. if interested...



Here is a site with some details...==

Hi Mark, Possums,



Thanks for  "You da Man" Possums.  Mark, So far so good as to avoiding those nasty dust devils.  I usually stay well clear of those nasties.



If I get a chance I will try and make it up to Chelan for the race.  It sounds like it could be fun to watch!   



Best Regards

Hey Carlos,



Where in southeastern Washington State were you at? 



Where do you fly out of?



You need to think about going down to the Alvord desert in May to join a group of 4 or more Kolbs planning a Gathering after Monument Valley.



For the record, Chelan is not in southeastern Washington State. I grew up in eastern Washington and northern Idaho, I'm now in Texas. The scenery is much nicer in the Northwest!

Hi John W,



I live in Walla Walla,WA..  I have a hangar and fly out of Martin airfield (S95) in College Place, WA.  The photo was taken at a Friend's R/C model strip in  Louden, WA.



I have often thought of making the pilgrimage to the Alvord Fly-In but, it is at a busy time of year for me.  Hopefully sometime soon I'll manage to get away from the dirty four letter word called "Work" and have a little fun  at Alvord.    



Best Regards
