I made a (frankly too-long) video about the flights I made this year. Talking through them kind of helped me think about them in terms of what I've learned, how far I've come, and what I've accomplished in a year. It felt kinda good, and perked me up a bit here around the solstice as the flying bottoms out for the year. I'm hoping to post a lot more cool stuff on cohost this coming spring as the season ramps up.
Here's the video if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgiWcrWz0tw
Goals for 2023:
- first 100km flight (straight line) (stretch goal: first 100 mile flight)

- Get P4 "advanced" paraglider rating
3a. this will let me land on the beach in Santa Barbara, which is a personal goal of mine - Fly Mt. Diablo (P4 required)
- Connect a good cross country flight out of Mt Vaca in the spring
- Go to the Red Rocks fly-in in Utah in September, schedule depending
