In a rare mid-week paste-up to the Avenal site

Pez goes out on his first glider ride.
Any similarity between any people, places and events is purely coincidental
and I don't have any money anyway so don't sue me.

When I first met John Shelton I thought he was a very funny guy, but I didn't
always understand everything he said. After I got to know him better I thought
he was strange and later I decided he was down right weird.
One day we were swapping stories and the conversation turned o Viet Nam. Seems
old John punched out of a fiercely burning F-4, just before it hit the trees.
In a typical Shelton scenario, John picked a rather poor place to get shot
down. He was in the middle of Charlie country, near the Ashaw Valley.
It's not clear just how long it took to rescue John from the jungle, but some
reports put it at over a week. What did John do for that week? He talked to the
monkeys, that's what he did. So, if you don't always understand what John is
talking about, just take his latest cartoon down to the local zoo and ask the
monkeys to explain it to you.

Do any of the monkeys at Williams know what that Ace of Spades on the glider
trailer means?

Is there no end to the deviations that occur in Sheltons mind? I'm still trying
to figure out what are those lumps on the right shoulder of the big blond gal
are?
John, I think you have been celibate too long. Those lumps belong on the front
of the blond.

First, JJ, that drawing is supposed to be a muscular man, not a woman. Thus,
what you are seeing is a pool boy with muscles and long blond hair. This is
the ideal for Ms. Spencer and should not arouse you as it apparently has.
Second, JJ, I have not been afflicted with the Soaring Pilot Syndrome, or
celibacy, at all. In fact, I had myself tested quite recently.
And, finally, I was mulling where exactly the SFNX is going to land and if
this line of harassment continues, it will be Janey's Ranch...if you know
what I mean, JJ. : )

Old Janey was a good old girl, never met a trucker or glider pilot she didn't
love. Her facilities included a truck-turn-around and a landing strip. The
*House* had a rotating beacon (red) mounted on the roof so that lost souls
could find their way to her abode.
You will never get the SFNX into her strip though, it's only 14 meters wide. I
tested this with my 13 meter Duster. The guy that helped me get the ship off
the runway, wouldn't sign my landing card and turned away when I shot off the
rest of my pictures (wonder why) I bet I'm the only guy in the world that got
his diamond distance application, signed by a Madam (Janey)

I was at Truckee a few years ago when someone landed out at Janey's in a
fifteen meter. Must have been Ok, but his message to his crew (son, about 25)
was "Hurry .. and bring money."

Details please, or don't you want to discuss your visit to a brothel in a
public forum? My wife says its OK to land there, but I better be outside when
she gets there. By the way, she pulled into the truck-turn-around before I
could even ask for Janey to whitness my landing. There are times when a crew
can be too efficient.

Or maybe times when one should delay the call for help?

It takes us normal people a week to figure out the things that John puts in his
cartoons. Lets see, now. Ace of spades is a Black ACE or one who has been
responsible for the distruction of 5 of his own aircraft. Now who at Williams
has accomplished that feat?

After a week of intense scrutinizing by the boys at Bletchly Park, I am proud
to announce that Shelton's code has been broken. The trailers in the cartoon at
Williams, CA are as follows:
7V-------------Ray
NK------------Gary
2 certifiable--- 2C otherwise known as Sergio (all 3 diamonds in one flight)
Sombrero---- Juan Bravo (1B)
Ace of Spades ---JJ
Big Hat--------------PK
Now some may not understand the Big Hat, so a brief explanation is in order. We
have a Squadron Commander at Williams (don't all gliderports have a CO?) Nobody
is sure if ours was appointed by higher authority or just self appointed, but
anyway, PK is our Squadron Commander.. Last spring, our CO made a call for all
available aircraft to mount a deep penetration strike on Hollister Gliderport
to capture the *Capture Trophy*. I'm sure your familiar with the capture
trophy, a sailplane must fly-in, land and claim the trophy. The trophy is then
the proud possession of the new gliderport, until it is once again captured by
the marauding hordes of barbarians from down south.
After several aborted attempts to capture the trophy, a pilot from Avenal (call
sign, Mother Hubbard) Posted the following on the Williams net:
I hear a lot of talk about the Williams Mongols, coming down and capturing our
trophy. Hide the women and children! Hide the sheep too! Haven't seen anything
yet, Think you guys are just a bunch of drugstore cowboys, ALL HAT------NO
CATTLE. Our CO has proudly worn his Big Black Hat, ever sense.

That may have been me in my ASW-20. Janey's was closed at the time, it was the
yearly vacation time for the girls. The caretaker wouldn't let me use the phone
until Janey came back from town. He was scared to death of the woman and her
sister. Bad place to land.
