We need a vacation after this vacation...In a good way of course. Portugal was FANTASTIC.

8/22/22

August has been restless so far. Neal started his P2. We recently announced our upcoming paragliding trip to Portugal so now finding the time to meet up all those who wish to fly with us before we leave on the road. Schedule is now packed and no flying window is missed. Lesson after lesson in both powered and unpowered, and we love to see everyone coming so energy and excitement packed. Alex, Avdhan, Ben, Bushil...the list is endless. Thank you for becoming a part of our flying family. And the new Tandem glider is now here :)

We did quite a bit of leisure XC flying these 2 months. No records were broken but sure those days deliver lots of fun and paragliding memories. We keep reaching further and higher with every towing day. Proud of everyone who finds the time to come out and play!

7/14/22

The weather finally made up its mind and we stepped up our game with the Tandem flying. Andrew and Milo(father and son) were visiting the area all the way from New Jersey. What better way to see Wisconsin than from the front seat of a paraglider.

We a met a for a few more ridge soaring and thermalling days this past week. Nick, Andy, Dylan, Garry, John, Oliver...always great when the crew meets for a fun day. The Minnesota paragliding group was also joined and sky turned into a fiery of colors.

McKinsey and Harry's gliders finally arrived. The start of their P2 course was initiated with their first tows and higher altitude flights. Great success folks!!! Many Tandem lessons these 2 weeks. LaCinda joined us at Portage and we got to work on her fear of heights a little.

Practice makes for safer pilots.

April was a month for traveling. 26 days spent paragliding in India were just desperately needed. The breathtaking Himalayas, Tibetan and Indian hospitality, great weather .... oh, what a trip!!!

Esteban was one of the lucky ones who came to fly with us these days. His girlfriend had this flight lessons booked as a surprise for him for his Birthday. We sure made that day truly special.

After a few busy weeks on the training hill, we stole yet another beautiful flying day. Dylan, Oliver, Chester, Garry, Dave...all had a blast sharing the sky. Winter is soon coming to an end.

The 2022 Colombian trip was a success. The group shared lots of great stories, tons of photos and videos. Many different places were flown, new warm hearted friends, picturesque towns visited ,great food and fantastic hospitality. BRAVO! Couple moments below, captured by the group's leader Orlando.

Members of our paragliding club departed for Colombia . The warm weather there paired with superb flyable conditions every winter provide a great escape from the Wisconsin's winter wonderland. In the meantime, those of us who remained, did not stay put at all.

January is starting slow. Weather is to blame, delivering strong winds and some unpleasant temperatures. But if there is a will, there is a way. Welcome to Llogito Mena. First 2 flights for him and he will be back for more!

Closing this fantastic year with some great flying at Lake Michigan. Welcome to Lida Yang to our paragliding club. Happy NEW 2022 to all and look forward to seeing you on the next flyable day.

So far, December has delivered odd weather. It has been either crappy winds with rain or great flying conditions offering lots of practice hours. Nothing in between.

11/27/21

The winter is knocking on our door. The sky began to change and temps dropped. Mackinsey, Harry, Steph and Alex are restless and don't stop practicing on those rare N wind days.

11/12/21

The trip to Hager was yet another full day of flying. Dylan and Dave are one step away from their P2 USHPA license-Passport to the WORLD OF FLIGHT. Of course, there we met up with members from the local paragliding club which only made the day even better. Bender delivered again. This place rarely disappoints!

We finally found time for that video. Scenes from our recent trip to Macedonia. ENJOY :))))

Allan joined us for a flight these days. We had to wait a bit in order for the thermals to mellow down but of course the hold up was worth it. Officially, Compass AirSports has been having the busiest and the most exiting Tandem Flight log for the past couple of years. Both powered and unpowered, our operation is going strong and our clients love it! WAY TO GO WISCONSIN! :)))

We rounded September to be a very busy month. We certainly did not miss a flyable day and the new joiners had a tremendous progres. Dave has been working really hard on his PPG to PG conversion. Knocking down the flight LOG like nothing. We also added a second towing vehicle in order to keep everyone happy .

September has been nothing but pure FUN so far!!!

Congratulations to David for his first thermic flight. Harry and Mackinsey will be towing soon. Their gear is being worked on now. Alex is already taking his first low altitudes flights. Long Intro session with Veronika. Having briefly flown paragliders some 18 years ago, she is now considering joining the local club. Tom scored a very good day this week too, first lift off. Admirations!!!
