| 4 |  Addicted in Chelan
“Dustyyyy!” Like an orchestra in tune, this song is sung by everyone at take-off while a rebel dust devil joins the morning briefing. The first tent gets ripped and the second one gets airborne and lands metres away.
There is a moment of silence, a moment of fear and excitement. The mix of feelings is…

| 13 |  ‘Do You Have Insurance?’
It’s every pilot’s worst nightmare. Or perhaps more accurately, it’s your family’s worst nightmare – that moment after an accident when they realise your insurance isn’t going to cover the costs or isn’t valid at all.
We all hear about the accidents. Many of us will know of pilots who didn’t have the right cover:…

| 14 |  The Head Game: the Art of Flying in the Present
Some days, flying feels almost effortless. The mind is calm, the decisions flow smoothly and the lift appears almost naturally. Then there are the days when our thoughts go round and round in circles, stress creeps in and every transition becomes an inner duel.
This is precisely where mindfulness meditation comes in. It’s not just…

I’m from the British Virgin Islands, this little territory in the Caribbean. My mother’s French and when I was a kid and living in the South of France, I remember going to Gourdon, and seeing a paraglider. I had no idea what it was, but I thought that was pretty cool.
