Well I don’t know if it will be half the fun but the flight was fun and very low stress. Traveling with a hang glider is not the easiest of tasks but every one at West Jet made it so much easier. They are so helpful and very service oriented. We arrive at the Calgary airport three hours early to help give them lots of time to deal with our very large bags. Dave from baggage spotted us just after we had arrived at the airport and went to get a ticket agent as the counter wasn’t open yet. He then went to customs and got a custom agent to come out to check our bags at the door and cleared them so we didn’t have to lug them through the whole terminal. Then the ticket agent saved the entire first row for us. It was great having a little extra leg room. It also gave us the chance to visit a bit more with a couple of the flight attendants. They were so friendly. Scott was a little bored so they put him to work doing the water service and picked up garbage after. Thanks to every one at West Jet for all your help and great service.
We got in a too late to set up Friday so we got our gliders set up today. The wind was a little strong at times so not every one flew today. Last year was the first year a comp was run in Arizona and we had sixteen pilots. This year seventy have entered. It’s great to see friends I have met in comps around the world over the last few years. Today we just hung out catching up with friends and getting ready to fly tomorrow.
