As a Bald Eagle ridge novice (first decent flight last fall) I, too,
wish there was a flight sim w/the ridge terrain and complexities it offers as the wind changes. "Flying" Google Earth is O.K. but the resolution below 5000' isn't that great, at least on my machine. It's much more useful after you seen the ridges for real. My advice woud be to read Tom's book "Soaring the Bald Eagle Ridge" a few times, get yourself out there, get a check ride w/Tom or one of his instructors (req'd), eavesdrop on other pilots and ask questions. No egos that I've encountered. If you plan on staying in the bunk house bring earplugs! Apparently, one of the criteria to become an "Irregular" is the ability drown out, with snoring, the sound of freight trains that pass very nearby. Mike |
