Have a look at the website of our Federation "www.ffvl.fr" and then click on "écoles". <BR/><BR/>Or do you mean you were looking for a paraglider/hanglider school in the United States? There should be hundreds.<BR/><BR/>If you want to know something more, just ask. <BR/><BR/>Cheers to you<BR/>GeorgGeorghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379915142029115257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646820528696373193.post-3809197835037433242007-09-11T03:04:00.000+02:002007-09-11T03:04:00.000+02:00CORRECTION: 4th line . 5th word write should be re...CORRECTION: 4th line . 5th word write should be replaced by "fly"Anroshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16723150055204555588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646820528696373193.post-73838565002908906682007-09-11T03:02:00.000+02:002007-09-11T03:02:00.000+02:00Wow !

Did you write your book in french?<BR/>I agree when you write nature humbles you. I feel the same when I am in the river and not being a swimmer I just leave it to the moment.Anroshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16723150055204555588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646820528696373193.post-69985478044348678362007-09-10T09:34:00.000+02:002007-09-10T09:34:00.000+02:00Bonjour Monica,At least someone seems to be intere...Bonjour Monica,<BR/><BR/>At least someone seems to be interested in my flying stories. Monica, thanks for commenting.<BR/><BR/>As to your question, I went to a paragliding school in Oct. 1992, got the certification in July 1993 and am flying ever since. <BR/><BR/>Paragliding (or hanggliding)is not more dangerous than many other human activities, like driving or mountain-biking. <BR/><BR/>To learn it, paragliding is slightly easier than hangliding. <BR/>You can learn both in a specialized school in about nine months.<BR/><BR/>And in case you are living in a suitable region (not totally flat) you have always the possibility to book a tandem flight just to find out what it means to you.<BR/><BR/>Last but not least, flying like this gives you a feeling and sensations that compare to absolutely nothing. This changed somehow my life. It does not make you proud - you are feeling all the time your little importance in midst of nature - but it gives you a more firmness of character.<BR/><BR/>In May this year I wrote another text about paragliding, I was attacked by buzzards (Under Attack). Have a look.<BR/><BR/>GeorgGeorghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379915142029115257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646820528696373193.post-85206801017425262802007-09-10T02:58:00.000+02:002007-09-10T02:58:00.000+02:00Truly beautiful picture.

Amazing how, at least here in the US, they continue to tear down buildings that have been here forever, rather than maintain them, instead building new ones that fall apart.
