Newcastle Hang Gliding Club

Thermals at Wellington are easy to find. Just look for the eagles. I found this one - a juvinile obviously had not flown with gliders before. First it tried to fly with the trike (tug) but found the prop and quickly turned away then on its way back to me found the tow line and did a quick about turn. This eagle was flying with me for about 10 mins. It was curious and did not try to strike me. But even so as a precaution I will be installing some eagle eyes.

Worlds first official RAA tug pilots are now located in Denman NSW Australia.
Go out there and receive a complimentary photograph, before tow, alongside one of these legends.
Bruce the RAA CFI was suitably impressed with these guys skills and knowledge of all things important. And I assure you no short cuts where taken (seriously).
Congrats boys and please don't let this new offical title go to your head and forgot us mere mortals.
Woohoo!!

Pete is ready to Tow on Sunday at his place Yarrawah near Denman.

Willing and keen pilots needed.
Meet and car pool or make your own way there./

Weather for Sunday is very good winter weather, light winds light lift.

Not the best production, but hopefully it will give a few people an idea of what its like at the top end of the Hunter Valley.
Cheers Westy

Gary Peterson and I finally had a crack at Mt Helen above Murrurundi today, and were rewarded with an epic day for May.

Enjoy
