The Editor's Letter is a place where we try fo keep you up to date on the direction of Paraglider Magazine and our hopes and dreams, no matter how ridiculous.

In-depth information on flying sites you always wondered about and some you never knew existed. We hope to bring the flying community a little closer together and provide the current pilot as well as the potential pilot some ideas on where to plan your next vacation . . .

From the FlyGirls article in our premier issue to exotic locales and beyond. The Feature articles will be about what's new and what's not and everything interesting in between!

This column, written by Chris Santacroce, will be dedicated to the pilots who like competition, and maybe even the ones who don't. How do they do that whole cross-country thing? We'll tell you what you need to know.

Doesn't seem complicated, does it? It won't be. Our calendar will be concise, easy to read, and won't turn into something that looks more like a classified ad section

Are you the funniest guy (or gal) you know? Or do you have the perfect shot that makes you laugh every time you look at it? If we pick your caption OR your pic, YOU WIN!!

. . . send us that once in a lifetime shot and you could be FAMOUS!

We'll print some of the news stories you may have missed in our free, monthly eNews, as well as anything new in the world of paragliding so you'll never be the last to know again!

Without feedback from you, it would be impossible to create the publication we hope to provide. This is where it will be. Good and bad. Although we're hoping for more of the former.

It is often said that the only thing that can hurt you in paragliding is the ground. Written by David and Gabriel Jebb, this column on safety will help you to stay away from it . .

. . . weather, micrometeorology and your quest for the holy grail of paragliding - the thermal (insert singing angels here); Dixon White will cover all these topics in language you can understand.

Here's where the brainiacs (and us wannabes too) will hang out. A technical column on wing design, the physics of aerodynamics, and the changing technology of our sport, related to both wing AND the flying accessories we use. Do you know what an L/D ratio really is? Should you?

No lift? No problem.
PPG Pilots will not be ignored!! (please don't boil our bunnies) Current issues, techniques, sites, travel etc. As well as occasional reviews on equipment for the powered enthusiast. It's no problem here at Paraglider Magazine.

The consistently advancing technology in paragliding creates an environment where there's always something new. Don't you LOVE that!? Our reviews are committed to being both in-depth and UNBIASED. The information you want is the information you'll get.
