Happy 2005 all, Does anyone have a decent image of the 'old' GLASFLUGEL logo? It's a stylised dragonfly sitting a top a triangular base. Always liked that logo. TIA fcuk'n

I just moved from Virginia where my glider was stored inside a hangar to El Paso, Texas. For the time being, I will have to store it in my enclosed trailer outside. I own a fiberglass Concept70 with metal flaps. Any of you desert flyers have any tips, warnings, suggestions about storage. Charlie...

The next issue of the Canadian soaring magazine "free flight" will have a history of Schweizer glider production. To fill one hole, I need a good representative photograph of either a 1-35 or a 1-36.

If soaring in Alaska is anything like soaring in the mountains in Canada it must be incredible. And I bet they get some good wave flying days there as well. Keith -- keithw ------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, for you guys that love 'em or hate 'em. If you hate Schweizer 2-33s, go to Arkansas, North Dakota, or Louisiana. There aren't any registered in these states. If you love 'em, come to California, with 36 of them! And for the "I'd love to hear THIS guy's story" drumroll

Rod Morris of Calgary, AB, mentioned in his Christmas letter --- By the way Kenna (15) went solo this year and instead of asking for the car keys, she's asking for the keys to the PW6!!. She is already planning to spend half of next summer in a tent on the airfield at Invermere. I am sure Roger...

A box of matches (the wait may be long and cold - or destroy the aircraft to prevent it falling into the hands of the enemy). An old pair of underpants (to replace...

More SSA members / More CFIG's. It's kinda like the chicken and the egg. If your club (or Commercial Soaring Operation) needs more CFIG's - consider sponsoring a couple of candidates to attend a Soaring Safety Foundation (SSF) Flight Instructor Clinic (FIRC). Non-CFIG's are invited to register...
