THIS CONDOR WILL BE GOING TO SCHOOL


So, it is looking as though I might be returning to Flight after being grounded due to the worst "Landing that I could imagine, Twelve Years Ago". But that was then, twelve and a half Years in the past, but it was something that happened to Me in the past just over Twelve and a Half Years ago.

I see Myself, yes I see Myself doing some super steep Wing-Overs. Heck the way I see it going over the Top around 80, or 85 Degrees is not steep enough. No i plan on going over the Top at 90 Degrees. I need to do some ground Schooling with John, before I go for it!

WEll, here I sit typing about how I am this lvely Saturday Morning. I have not Heard yet from Pilot-x. But i am still holding hope that either today, or on tomorrow that i will finally after Twelve and a Half Years, i will finally be asble to go through to the end of this Molting Process that I have been undergoing since My crash Twelve and a half Years ago. For Yes; Either today or tomorrow I hope, and I pray that I will become the "Phoenix Guy in the Sky"!

Hope all the logistics fall into place and you get some airtime.

I aLMOST PUT UP A nEW pOST; {Predator Thoughts} But what The Heck? So now when I begin Flying My Beloved Predator, What a Glider! I hope to have some more Days that Paid Quite well. I made $450.00 one Day, and $850 on another Day. Lets see: $1300.00 for two days work not Bad in My Book. I can see it now; I will be down on the Street corner with the other out of Work Dead-Beats with my Cardboard sign saying "I WILL FLY FOR FOOD".

i have been looking at Posts on this Web-Site. I notice how Paragliders have seemed to really have taken off so to Speak. I just hope that as Paragliding gains more, and more footing in our Aviation World. Well surely They Paragliders surely will not forget that it was US Hang Glider Pilots who helped them in their Time of need, this time was back in the Eighties. I just hope that if it is the case that it will be us Hang Glider Pilots who need help. I just hope that Paraglider Pilots believe in the saying; "What Goes Around Comes Around""

And talk of "Speed Flying". I say why not; "Speed XC"? I am thinking about hac=ving an Speed XC contest at My next Fly-In. What do You guys think? I mean The Idea of Launching from Mount Diablo. I will have it that the direction that the Pilots take in order to Fly 100 Miles is entirely up to them. will have the contest be wide open regarding to what Compass heading they take. So the Pilot Who is able to Fly One Hundred Miles the fastest will Win.

The use of the term "speed wings" for small paragliders is an abuse of the language. They are sometimes discussed as if they are a different class of aircraft, but they are just smaller paragliders.

[Chris McKeon]

Ok, I want to be bit more descriptive regarding Hopefully My Next Fly-In will be done. OK, I will have it where Pilots will Fly away from the Mountain in any Compass direction. They are to fly One Hundred Fifty Mile. Then turn around and Fly Back. This will give the Pilot a hundred Mile Flight. Upon retirning to Mount Diablo There will be a Target Cone set in the Juniper Ridge L-Z. The Pilot who lands closest to the cone will win $500.00 Dollars. But if Said Pilot whacks He, or She will receive nothing. So as to not make the task very hard. I will be asking the Pilots to only do a Fifty Mile out and return. But I think also the Pilot Who lands Five feet or less from the Cone, will receive $100.00

Here I am a Busted up, Supposed to have been a Ded Predator Pilot. I still to this Day think almost constantly about Flying. I have Problems. I mean just think about it I was so injured I was so close to Death. But as I get to be My normal Abnormal Self. I think about Flying My Predator. I dream about having for Me a couple of highwater Flights in My Flying opf My awesome Predator. Please note I have had some stelar Flights while Flying My Predator 158. But have no doubt. I haver had the Flights that I have had not because I am some kind of GOOD PILOT> I have had the Flights that I have Had because I have been so Blessed to have had My Predator.

I hope tobe able to Go over the Top at One Hundred Eighty Degrees, IE a Loop. Bow that I am below 180 Pounds. I dream of Flying One Hundred Miles in less than Four Hours, Much less than Four Hours. These Aviation thoughts of Mine are Fun.

[Chris McKeon]

OK; I am not Brain-Dead. I understand that some of You are just as pasonsite about the Type of Flying that You purse as I am doing the Kind of Flying that I pursue. I say unto those who have absolutely no interest in doing Aerobatics, or Flying XC. I say to you; Go for it! Heck just to be in the Air any Air is such a Pleasure. Some pointed out that it is a Ginger Mary Ann thing. By the way personally i thought that Mary Ann absolutely Smoked.

Being that I was so severely injured at the end of My last Flight. I really probably should not Fly ever again, but heck I am after all Myself. We all know that the Air that is above the ground weather or not that Air is above your Home Site, or if You are Flying say fifty Miles Down Range. Either place. Down Range or at Your Home site. Your outcome could end in Your Pounding.

But I just so Hope that Agent X calls Me saying something such as; "So do You want to Fly Tomorrow:, I will certainly will say; "Heck Yes I want to Fly". Wish Me luck won't You.
