    Free Flight for Free Tibet

    Last monday 12th May 2008, I went to Volmerange-Les-Mines.  It is situated just over the Luxemburg border in France and for flying here you need an eastern wind.  Like the Zoutelande-dune, this site is very interesting for soaring.  Arriving in the afternoon I first observed the other pilots at the start and before unpacking my gear I waited for calmer conditions.  It was almost 18:00 when I took off for a flight that lasted 70 minutes.  Instead of making a tricky toplanding I landed on the landing field some 150m below.

    During the long weekend from 1st May I went with Guido to the Vosges in France.
    Springtime is very delicate for flying because of the extreme temperature differences between night and day, which causes strong flying conditions.  Also man must be aware that some of us (paragliding pilots) didn't flew very much or absolutely not during wintertime.  On our arrival I made a very short evening flight.  On Fridaymorning we had both first a bumpy flight.  On our second flight in the late afternoon, we didn't manage to get to the landing field, you can say that we saw the top of the trees very close...   On Saturday we met the local pilots from GrandVol and the newbies from their school.  Conditions were better that day and more than one pilot managed to make a small cross in the valley or reached maximum altitude (1350m).
    Our flights lasted longer and good thermals brought us above our starting point.  That day we made 4 flights.  I selected some pictures, scroll down to see them.

    On Friday 11th April 2008 I went soaring at the Zoutelande beach/dune with the Free Tibet-paraglider.
    Lots of other Belgian pilots were there.
