Hopefully the new patch will come out in time for your birthday! Hear that EA? The best SAAWer who plays on servers with skilled regulars has a birthday coming up.

Thank you thank you.

For my birrthday present to myself, I treated myself to a suck ass day flying my hang glider. Won't even get into the long detailed description of why the 1st flight went wrong, but I've now set a club record for shortest flight. Belly flop on the runway didn't help matters either. Nor my pride. I rehearse all the scenarios in my mind and how I'd react. I didn't rehearse (or even consider) a premature release from the tug when I'd only cleared off the launch dolly by 18 inches and its still rolling beneath me.

2nd flight, I just couldn't get comfortable. Head wasn't in the game. Realized that after the screwup on the 1st flight, I never did a proper safety check before going up the 2nd time. Having a nonpilot check me and not following up made me nervous. MAJOR mistake on my part. I came back to the ground. 2000 ft above ground and you aren't sure if you are hooked in properly just is not a good feeling.

Old Pilot Adage : It is better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than it is to be in the air wishing you were on the ground.

But, coming in the 2nd time was the most absolutely perfect landing I'ver ever had on my hang glider.

Know what else was strangely absent? I didn't hear a single lockon tone the entire time I was in the air.....
