The flying sites

1.Brajici. 760 meters above sea level. This is a thermic site directly above Becici beach. It is good for repeat flights as there is a main road direct to take off. The quick turn-round times are also good for training. Great for learning to thermal and also good for manoeuvres such a B lines, wingovers and spirals or acro! The XC record is 35km, along the coastal mountain range. Beach landings can be difficult during June, July and August due to crowds.
2. Button Hill. 650 meters above sea level This is another South facing mountain range with a good road most of the way to the top. Last section requires 4x4. Also good for training, Many grass fields to land in or beach landing. Often better in June, July and august as some beach landings at Becici are too crowded with sun worshippers. A good thermic coastal site with XC potential.
	3. Vrsuta. 1180 meters above sea level 4x4 drive only to take off...very spectacular and also a good starting place for XC or out and return flights. Spectacular views and an easy take off, generally good into the evenings.	4. Lovcen. 1740 meters above sea level 'Fly down into Kotor bay' - see another Video on You Tube. Possibly one of the most memorable flights anyone will ever make; breathtaking scenery all the way to the small landing area in a football stadium.
