Landing Approach


Today's flight condition was difficult due to week thermal and backwind. Many flyers reached the Landing in very low hight. In this perplexing situation, this flyer on SPORT3 often makes wrong dicision. ;-)

It rained all day long.


No chance...... I just swam in Nonoichi Municipal Swimming Pool. Tomorrow? Maybe no hope. :-(

Bad Forecast


It will be backwind at Shishiku Area. I am going to ski in Ichirino. Maybe, it will be last skiing in this season.

I JUST GLIDED.

Today's wind was not so good. I just repeated 3 times taking off and landing.

Lost Saturday


I could not go to Shishiku due to work. Weather forecast said that it will be fine but backwind there. But! At Shishiku Area, they could fly!! I missed it.

J Leager


I did not see him this winter, but he came to Shishiku last week. He is so kind to teach me a lot of flight skills.

TEQUILA2


This is the newest glider of Skywalk. This orange color is very pretty. Skywalk has some candy color variations. TEQUILA2 (LTF1-2) has high stability in low speed and better glide ability than previous TEQUILA. I beleive that this is one of the best coise for student flyers who are stepping up from the beginner class.

POISON2


Chao brought us a new 2-3 wing, Skywalk POISON2. Unfortunately, My size was not available. I like this wing design so much.

Too Much


We could not have a flight due to strong wind. Just two pilots did fly. I also prepared for flight, but I gave up.

Chao

She is the cutest paraglider provider in Japan. She brought some test gliders of Skywalk and MacPara in this weekend. I tried Skywalk TEQUILA2 (LTF1-2) and MacPara ENVY (LTF2).

My Old Friend


Last Saterday, I rode Airwave SPORT2. This red 1-2 wing was mine 2years ago. I felt deterioration of stability. Especially, while circling, it slipped and declined the internal pressure of the ends of wing slightly but often.

Early, Early, Very Early Spring


Snow is disappearing on and on.... Wind is still cold and dry, but the sunlight is warm and mild.

He often tries spiral approach for landing.

Beautiful Sunday


Today, we had very very clear sky! We really enjoyed beautiful view of Hakusan Mountains.

2008-03-08

We've started!


Today, a lot of flyers came to fly in Shishiku Area. The air is still cold, but flyers' minds were warm.

Tommorow, a cold wave will come. It will be the last one in this winter.

I was in trouble Last Sunday. Then, they helped me. I really appreciate for their support.

Waiting on Snow


Last Sunday, it was back wind in the morning. We got against wind at noon.

Friends


Red & white Sport3, Red Poison and I are the pilots who come to fly at Shishiku Area even in winter.
Tomorrow, it will be Southwest wind. They will come probably. Of course, me too.
