dunlopdangler Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 about fifty hang gliders will be competing in the 2011 "big air" championships being held in Dalby starting this weekend 9th April. there will be 5 or 6 tugs launching the gliders up so in the coming week there will be a fair bit of activity so if your planning to fly into or through the vicinity be aware. Hang gliders are normally carrying UHF CB handhelds (mainly to talk to one another) so a good lookout is paramount. If you feel the urge, spectators are made very welcome.:big_grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Yes, was an awesome day yesterday!!! I had the privilege to be working almost at the end of the airfield over the street at a business on their forklifts. It was a bit tricky to not get side tracked looking at the sky........ Good to pop over during lunch though! Did you get a photo of me in the back of the Dragonfly eating my chips DD? That would have made an amusing shot I was thinking later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
