That's Kevin Fairburn |
To quote from Kevin Fairburn who has recently joined the Condor Racers
".... if you've not used the Condor Simulator, you really should! I fly with the gang on Sundays and Tuesdays through the winter, and while the simulator can't give you the physical feedback of gliding, I am learning so much from all the guys I am flying with, from finding and centering thermals and ridge lift to picking the best routes through the Alps, North Wales or Exmoor (which is where we mainly fly!)...
Best, Kevin "

If you'd like to join in, we have a DSGC Discord channel where we can chat on an open audio channel whilst flying, or just watch a stream and join a What's App group to keep in touch. Stewart has provided some Help to get started. - J&P
