23.01.2022 Just a reminder to all about 3 big Competitions that are happening over the summer'ish season. 1/ Big K week: Not really a Comp , more of a personal distance challenge. Ground Tow launch Sat 28/11/20-? contact Hughbert Alexander. 2/ Corryong Cup: One of the best, most fun comps you will ever fly. Great for experts and first time competition pilots alike. Foot launch. 10-16 Jan 2021 ... https://www.facebook.com/CorryongCup/ 3/ Forbes Flatlands: Despite its reputation, this is a fun comp, and new competition pilots are well supported. It will lack its international flavour this year due to the Corona virus but will still be a great time. Aerotow launch. Dates 18-26 Jan 2021. https://www.forbesflatlands.com/

23.01.2022 Hi all, I was hoping we could fly at Locksley this weekend however weather on Sunday and work on Saturday has got in the way. In addition, we have very long grass on the required westerly strip which is too wet underfoot to get mowed. If anyone is interested I will be at the Mooroolbark mini hill from 3pm Saturday to practice take off and landing technique. I am happy to do some coaching and I will have a glider people can borrow if theirs is unavailable. I will post tomorrow to confirm but weather looks good at present.

22.01.2022 Pretty sure I have posted this before but its worth a watch again at any time. The history of hang glider design at Wills Wing with their guru designer Steve Pearson. Film by Dave Aldrich. The first few seconds shows an absolutely minimum drag orientation for your harness, slightly head down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1utuIlstqs

18.01.2022 Ring of steel is down tonight. Who is going flying?

10.01.2022 I have died and gone to heaven! Our flight park sponsors Arnotts Tim Tams, have just invented perfection https://www.facebook.com/134300019970833/posts/3652851428115657/?vh=e&d=n

09.01.2022 Incredibly spectacular vision from Wolfi who is incredibly talented. However, this is also incredibly dangerous, 100+ kph at ground level.

07.01.2022 Up at Locksley this weekend doing my monthly security check and some maintenance. Found this lovely aircraft doing circuits and being flown by a 15 year old young lady under instruction. Aircraft is owned by her dad! Awesome!

07.01.2022 Sorry for the late notice folks but we will fly Saturday from 2pm sharp. We will tow through into the evening so anyone wanting a practice in smoother air is welcome to wait until later. I will stay over for sunday so the tug will be available from about 9am till mid arvo. However, the weather may turn rainy so Saturday is likely more reliable.

05.01.2022 Great example of a lenticular cloud. The photographer is David Bratt who was a visiting American pilot who flew regularly with us at Locksley some years ago.

04.01.2022 Same rules for hang gliders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-Nzjjw5BTo

02.01.2022 Some promo vision for the NASA spacecraft due to land on Mars in 100 days. Some cool, aerospace tech and beautifully filmed. Check out the size of the wind tunnel at about 50 secs.

01.01.2022 Humans , from many different countries , have been living on the International Soace station for 20 years now. An Australian has never been there,but do you one almost did - and he flys hang gliders?
