US Nationals - Day 8


Day 8 – we decamp to Quest Air

A packing up session with the van o wee loaded up then onto Quest Air for the next 2 comps! … more of that later.

Florida Ridge. What a hoot!! This was a great fun comp with lots of safe challenging flying. It’s a great place to fly with a real easy going family atmosphere and such friendly people - if you ever get chance to do a comp at The Ridge then do it. It’s a great place to warm up for the start of our season and if you’re into nature then it is a must!

Special thanks also go to Sue and George our retrieve driver and navigator – we couldn’t have done it without you.

Many thanks goes to James the owner of Florida Ridge, to Steve and Cheryl, Big Red and Dad, all the tug pilots and ground crews.

The Florida Ridge is located on 50 acres of ranch land in Southern Florida where Atlantic and Gulf coast winds converge to create the most favourable soaring conditions in the US. With unrestricted air space and wide-open fields stretching 100 miles in every direction, the Ridge gives pilots of all abilities unlimited opportunity to test their soaring skills and fly cross-country.
