I also made a trip to Central Java to fly hang gliders at a mountain site. I flew hang gliders (foot launch aerotowing) frequently and went on a number of cross county flights with several other trikes during the 18 months we were there. I was also flying a Mosquito Powered Harness at the time with my Airborne Shark-144. This is when I bought my first trike, the Airborne Edge-X Trike. I learned to fly trikes at Lido with a true master trike and hang glider pilot, Harry Agung. During the first week there we discovered Lido Airfield 70kms South of Jakarta. In early 1999 I relocated to Jakarta Indonesia where I served in a regional level assignments which took me to several locations throughout Asia. All hang gliding flights except when attending a static line towing clinic with Dynamic Flight in the flatlands at Birchip, were at mountain or coastal hill flying sites. From day one in Australia I was an active member of the Eastern Victoria Hang Gliding Club and the Western Victoria Hang Gliding Club and while my primary job always took priority I flew most weekends other than when I had work commitments.

I was an intermediate rated hang glider pilot at that time under the BHPA (British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association) and the HGFA (Hang Gliding Federation of Australia) program. I was employed by a major international oilfield service company for over 35 years which provided an opportunity to work in various locations overseas, often on a commuter basis and also served in several permanent overseas assignments, so my home base was the UK until 1997 when we moved to Australia. We were also fortunately to have several coastal sites within 50miles from home which I flew frequently with the club over the years. I obtained my aerotow rating with Lejair shortly after getting my CP (Club Pilot) rating. All training was by static winch foot launch as were all subsequent flights with the local club NHGPC (Norfolk Hang Gliding and Paragliding Club) that operated at the same site as the school.
