Hi All,

Elementary pilot courses began on the 2nd of October 2015  with a batch of excited students from all over the country. The training hill was buzzing with excitement once again. Instructors were happy to be back running up and down the hillsides alongside a batch of excited happy students

Club Pilot courses began the next week and soon pilots from Mumbai and Pune began to pour in too eager to be airborne after the long monsoon gap.

Flying done, time to head back to Native Place for more fun - Nirvana Paragliding Club , Kamshet , India.

Dylan, Rinul, Sunith and Kalyan and Sudhir were the first to land up. They wanted to air their wings and pilot skills before heading out to the Himalayas to get onto the xc trail. Here’s a pic of them with SIV Guru Jockey Sanderson in Bir Billing soon after the world competition.

Emil was not far behind – he quit his job and came earlier than planned 🙂

Nirvana Pilots – Quick comment

Don Dmello –  Wed 4th November

Strong winds on takeoff for GH at least for my skill level but smooth lift and occasional choppy thermal. Got up to 1250msl had discussed with Ravi that if I got to 1400 msl I would try to fly back to Native Place. Will have to wait another day.

Ashwin Krashwin – 8th November

1 hour 16 min flight lots of thermalling and soaring , cold sugarcane juice at Rangoli .. wonderful weekend at  kamseht … and I think I might have seen a UFO  over the lake from the terrace at Native Place

 

And so the flying, fun, laughter, excitement, will go on until the month of May. Make your plans, pack your bags and get here people – The circus in the sky and back home at Native Place is on once more

Peace Bliss & Happy Landings
