US Hawks Hang Gliding Association

We've been watching the wind predictions and Tuesday might be about as good as we may see until who knows when. Afternoon winds straight in at 11. I will be heading north soon so I hope to get the Condor tested before I get to packing. I think Bob and Joe will make it, I always say if you have a old wing you still have but would only ground skim it this is the opportunity.

Weather reports now look like Monday maybe more favorable. More to follow.

I agree, and I think I can make it on Monday.

Here's the traditional forecast (at this time) for Monday and Tuesday:



Here's the BlobPlot version of that data (April 6 and 7) adjusted to the main slopes at Dockweiler:



Note that Monday's 10 mph blobs at 11am, noon, and 1pm should work well with the southwest facing slope at the site. So it should be flyable most of the day on Monday.

We did fly on Monday, April 6th, 2026. Sorry it took me so long to post the video ...

Thanks to Joe and Rich for a fun day of flying!   

Thanks to Frank Colver for the gift of the glider!!   

OK, the way I see it. Those (PILOTS) are in Violation. I do not know what Laws were broken. But I know that from watching them Fly in the Video. But they based on all The Fun that They appeared to be having. I think that those Limits should be punished, Punished for having too much Fun.

Come down for the Otto Meet this year ... and be punished along with us!!!       

Bob, I mean if I exercise good thinking and Personal self Control I will not succumb to Temptation by coming down again. Besides as I have already stated You Guys have too much Fun! I have a Question: Is Flying simply the Funnest activity that Er can do?
