Mt. Borah, Australia

Mount Borah has a way of making even experienced pilots slow down. Before the harness clicks in and the wing comes overhead, there's the ritual of watching the cycles, studying the birds, and listening to what the ridge is saying today. When it all comes together, smooth lift carries you along the Manilla ridgeline before the flats open into legendary cross-country country. It's a site that rewards patience more than bravado. Fly Borah well, and you'll understand why pilots travel from around the world to keep coming back.
