Glad to be on board with US Hawks. I've been flying since 1979 with first flights at Kitty Hawk. While living in Massachusetts I earned all my ratings over the years at Morningside in New Hampshire under Jeff Nicolay. Despite the hike Ascutney has always been my go-to site. I've flown sites up and down the East Coast, including the long trek up to Mount St. Pierre on the Gaspe Peninsula. I'm now on a long term trek with my wife to see the country, the National Parks and such, and fly as many sites as possible. I decided on a Falcon 4 170C for this trip because I wanted light weight and easy to fly. Been very impressed with it this past year. At the end of April we'll be heading up into Colorado, Utah, Idaho, looping up over to Washington State and down to southern California for next winter. Not planning to return "home" to Vermont for another couple of years. I'll be grateful for suggestions and advice on favorite sites and other things not to be missed. I'm keeping a bucket list state by state so don't hold back! Club names, sites, contacts, best flying time of the year, etc.
Thanks,
Jim

Hey Jim, I viewed all of your videos and it looks like you were able to figure out the newer edit program rather quickly.
Next time we run into each other I hope we can get together and you can give me the crash course on the new edit stuff. :thumbup:
