Paragliding Blossom Valley | Day after Thanks Giving | Lots of air traffic.captainobviou3 (63) in paragliding • 7 years ago Everyone over here in So Cal had the day off. Even tho the conditions were garbage everyone wanted to fly. This day was very hot for November. I blame chemtrails. When we got to launch, there were a bunch of pilots getting ready to fly. I told Chris that he needed to give the report. Chris launched first and ended up at the bailout. We were a little apprehensive to launch, but we wanted to fly. This was my first day back in the air after the chaos at Palomar one week earlier. So today, I am going to just take it easy. As the day progressed, more and more pilots were in the air. Some of them crossed and went to El Cap. I made the decision to stay at the site and fly. It took me about an hour to regain the confidents that I lost. I practiced top landings and watched some of the more excellent pilots. I launched a few more times before the day was over. There was a nice glass off at the end of the day. I was able to get above the launch. At this point in the day, I felt like I was back to normal. Flying around over launch is fun when there is not much air traffic. Another smooth landing, but I missed it because the GoPro was off. Chris came to tell me that he had to hike because he launched first. LOL It was a fun day of flying.
