Fly La Malinche before arriving in Mexico

You can now virtually fly La Malinche and Tenancingo on the simulator at http://www.paraglidingearth.com/en-html/index.php?site=9851

Look for the simulator link in the upper left area of the general data window.

You might first need to let a program download to run it. Give it time to load completely, and the ground features will be surprisingly detailed, more so in the surrounding areas than at launch. What was really surprising to me, is that the thermals in the simulator are actually located more or less where the house thermals are located in reality. I guess their program was pretty good at predicting that based on terrain etc. I would say that by studying where the thermals are at in the simulator, WOULD be of some help to those who fly here in reality later.

Try differient routes to Malinalco, or try flying past Chalma to Cuernavaca, for a great cross-country flight.

Good Flying,
Daniel
