Hey Buddy,
I'd like to say Thank YOU!!! for getting me into the air safely. The aero tow clinic was fully sick and I can't wait to tow again soon.

The dust is settling after the Forbes Flatlands Competition and what fantastic preparation the four day XC Clinic was for the event!

Having only been signed off earlier in the year I felt desperate for a bit of wisdom from two of the worlds best (Curt Warren and Jonny Durand Jr) to bring all the pieces of the flying puzzle together - linking the hang gliding course with the aerotow clinic with thermalling with running the electronica gizmos with going XC with landing safely - all whilst having a great time!

Flying at Forbes with Curt and Jonny was not only heaps of fun but also a great learning experience. Without a doubt the Forbes XC Clinic helped me do better at the Corryong Cup the following week.

Hi Curt,
Once again many thanks for a great 4 days of flying on the XC Clinic.

It's hard to know which was the best, the great (much needed) flying advice, the cookie awards, the priority launching, the closing dinner or your margaritas!

Regardless, it was fantastic flying with you and Jonny and all the new flying friends. As always, you manage to ensure not only are we out there learning and honing our skills, but all having a great time doing so. Thanks!

I'm just back from a fantastic four days of flying at Forbes at the XC Clinic with Curt, Johnny and a great set of other pilots. This was my first venture into cross-country flying and to do so with the advice and experience of these pilots was an extraordinary opportunity.

Each day started with a debrief of the previous day's flying with discussion of strategies and even examination of track logs from some of the pilots. Then we'd have a comp style task briefing with a full discussion of the details of the weather and how best to approach the task and conditions.

I can't give enough credit to my instructor Curt. He provides just the right mix of tempering irrational enthusiasm with constant pressure to push beyond what's comfortable.
I think my wife thought that after getting my first high-flight yesterday, I'd sorta be satisfied and not quite so obsessed with the flying, but it's quite the opposite. Yesterday was just like throwing fuel on the fire. So hoping for another good day soon!

Thanks for a great session today.
I feel you and the boys have helped me overcome a major hurdle in my progress.

I flew the northern end of wanda sand dunes today. Drove to boat harbour at kernell peninsular & parked on the beach. It cost $20 between 3 of us but let us set up in the right spot with the wind pretty much straight on the dunes.

THANK-YOU for an awesome weekend of flying! Safe, professional, friendly and fun is what I love about your courses. AWESOME EFFORT, and It was fantastic to be hanging with a GREAT bunch of guys for the 4 or so days, and I LOOK FORWARD to more fun times with yourself and the boys when we venture into more flying together.

I'm still on a HIGH from Forbes & can't wait for the next time I put the glider on racks, knowing that I'm going Hang Gliding again!!
