  • mmm how do you know you're not doing to be hit by a jet 0_o

  • @lti12 well...... you hope for the best! Keep an eye and..... jets normally do not fly that low in that area, they are much much higher!

  • @WonderBoyyyyy planes fly fast and not always visible, I'm thinking maybe the ATC

    has you on radar and can inform the jet pilot about it.

    But anyway I never flown at Chelan before, Do you have a 360 degrees takes off

    direction at the butte? Or is it only to the Southwest or North takeoff?

  • @lti12 The jets fly much higher then us in that area. Small plane traffic is out there. VFR apply. It a non issue out there, but you always keep an eye out.

  • @lti12  chelanflyers(dot)com/fly-site.­htm you can launch in all directions.

  • Dude, I would call that the save of the season. Such beautiful skies! Chelan here I come!

  • This flight paraglidingforum (dot)com/leonardo/flight/22630­8 was the lowest save I had out there. I was a few hunded off the deck, unzippped and setting up to land.

    A few hawks joined in foe a few.

    *Check out the video response for that one*

  • Now that looks like fun.

  • ...looked like a very spread-out thermal at the top...some straight-ahead flight and

    gently-banked turns close to cloudbase.

  • Wow! Talk about beaming up!!
