Even I'm getting tired of all this death & destruction.

Have a nice day Chris, Jonathan, Andy, Casey and Neanderthals

He may be on to us. Maintain radio silence until further coded orders
are issued.

Real men (and women) fly taildraggers and go through finish gates in
their sailplanes (not motorgliders).

Finishing at 500' is like kissing your sister. (ok, maybe not YOUR
sister...)

And there is absolutely no truth to the rumor of ASA Neanderthals
perrforming double formation low passes over FAA Designated Examiners.

66 has relocated to St. Louis - call the CDC!

Low pass patient zero must have been near Frederick,
MD in the late '70s. The investigation continues...

Flew in the back seat of YB (Nimbus 3D) today on the
ASA task - 135 mi. We finished at 1,000'! And it was
a cylinder!!!

Go figure.

66 actually accomplished soaring flight (twice!) Sunday at Silvercreek.
.5 knots to 3000', over an hour each time. Both flights culminating
in simulated gate (not cylinder) finishes.

Mental health trip to P48 scheduled for this coming weekend. Warning:
all unlocked glider trailers may have their contents subjected to a
spot rig&fly inspection.

Hey 66,

Three of us from Highland were at 6000 ft over
Silvercreek on Saturday, 600 fpm lift all day,
where were you?

By myself on the ground, waiting for anybody else to show up!

I did get my ship annualled, but everyone else appeared to have had a
schedule conflict so we missed a beautiful day.

Glad someone put those nice little cu's to work!

I think a rousing chorus of

"I'm a gliderpilot... I'm OK
I sleep all night and I fly all day!"

might be more appropriate. Looks I just got done chopping wood.

Great shot of you, Andy and friends. You've just given me a great idea.
Keep an eye out in Soaring.
