Worlds first Paraglider to launch in 2007

Sunshine Coast Flying

After Godfrey Wennes from Manilla NSW claimed the Paragliding Solo Open Distance flight with 335km and the worlds longest Tandem Open Distance of 223km, another worlds first in Australia was booked.

This time it happened at Carlo Sandblow in Rainbow Beach where Rob Moschella launched on 1. January early at 4:40am to be the first paraglider to fly in 2007.

His brother Tony claimed second place and the third to launch his paraglider in the early morning hours was Travis Evan. Well done and congratulations.

First Paragliders to launch in 2007

I flew with Jean Luc several times. He is a certified chief flying instructor and operates Paragliding Rainbow. His impressive 100% safety record for 1400 Tandem flights speaks for itself.

I was refered to Jean-Luc by a friend. After going for a tandem in 2005, I got the bug, and started the course the following weekend. Being late 50's and never flown anything before, I wasn't a fast learner. But I persisted with Jean-Luc allways helping me to improve. I am now an intermediate pilot and can show to the young pilots sometimes. Recently, I've traded my first second hand for the new Apco Vista. I am realy happy with this glider, it's safe with good as you can get lift. Jean-Luc is now teaching me advance cross-country inland skills, great challenges awaits me.
