40 Years !

(Its been over a year so I guess its time post something?)

It's our 2019 Mansfield Encampment and we recently had a minor celebration here...

Mia (my ever "enduring" partner 😏 ) recently surpassed a little milestone in her flying carrier. After a recent local Mansfield 62km FAI triangle she was able to claim 40 years of hang gliding!

Over the last year she had not been flying much as she had been hard at work focusing on attaining her teaching certificate from the University of the Fraser Valley.  She successfully graduated a few weeks back and after a bit of "decompression" has started to get back into the swing of things. Just prior to her hang gliding flight she bagged a bunch of Paraglider flights (so was able to claim 40 years of "flying") but wanted to make it 40 years of hang gliding. 

Of course 40 years of Hang Gliding is nothing compared to the 47 years she has put up with me!

Congratulations Mia, I'm proud of your achievements....
