Ending the Season

Last Saturday, we had closing party of this season. The Shishiku-Kogen Paragliding School will close until March. I, however, will have flight in winter X-)

Troyka

A couple of cute girls tried to fly last month. They looked happy so much, and we also felt happy!

Come Back to Earth

She left the hospital. I was pleased with her recovery, but I am afraid if she will get new 2-3 wing.

Harnesses

I ordered a harness. It was SUP'AIR Altix2, an Airbag-type one. I am sceptical about safety of mouse-type harnesses. I realized that some flyers using mouse-type harnesses got a fracture of back-bone.

Late Autumn

Today, I had a flight about sunset. Autumn leaves shining in the rays of the setting sun were so beautiful.

Toward South

When main stream was South, we can easily chatch the ground thermal. Thus, we can enjoy western side in Southern part of the Shishiku Area.

Cosmos

There is one yard for cosmos near our Landing.

With the Moon

I love the view of paraglider and the moon. In autumn and spring, we can see this combination in the sky.

Asian Dust

It was so dusty and sandy last Saturday.

Spiral Practice

It was poor condition to glide due to Asian dust. Some young pilots had exercises of flight skill.

Fine Tomorrow.

This week, we had cold rain every day. Anyway, it will be fine tomorrow! I guess it would be final chance to enjoy flight in autumn.

Autumn Leaves

Leaves in our Area got red and yellow. This view is so beautiful, but this is final signal of closing flight season.

Migratory Birds

This Saturday afternoon, birds flew in formation. So, it has got late autumn.

It's Already Got Old.

He changed his MAGUS to MANTRA R10.2 to win the race. Wings for competition have very fast abilities in its gliding speed and ageing. ;-(

The Point to Survive

In early July, I went to fly at the Akaishi Area in Ishigaki Is. Then wind direction was not so good. The Northern wall in the above Photo was only the point to catch the ridge wind.

Challenger

Now, a gay who rides on this green CAYENNE3 is trying the exam for Pilot License. This morning, he passed the paper test. Next, he must clear the flight test. I hope his success.

Logging Road

Recently, some paths through a forest were constructed in our Shishiku Area. These kinds of constructs are welcome for us, although they somehow mar the forest's beauty.
