The BAPA Summer Solstice Fly-In will be at Hat Creek from Friday, June 20 - Sunday, June 22. Flying is primarily the glass-offs on Friday and Saturday nights. Hat Creek is famous for its scenic and smooth evening glass-offs. Paragliders usually launch later than 5:00 p.m. and sometimes fly until dark, depending on conditions.
For more information on Hat Creek including location and flying conditions, please go to -http://hatcreek.info/Site%20Info-Recommended%20Pilot%20Skills.htm
Please note that the information on the page above is somewhat geared toward hgs - paragliders generally do not fly during the middle of the day because of the high winds. Good, strong launch and landing skills are very important at Hat Creek. It can be windy at launch and very still in the LZ (so you come in fast). Hat Creek is a lovely place - as you fly, you look out at Lassen, Burney Mountain and Mt. Shasta in the distance.
Please save the dates for the Hat Creek fly-in. I will send out more details as we get closer to the dates including information on camping and other logistics.
