A friend of mine made this great stop motion video. In Argentina we are in total lock down so he had plenty of time to do it. Enjoy!! https://youtu.be/l9eL9dBTXtw

John Good wrote a beautiful obit for Charlie Spratt in the June 2009 issue of Soaring. Charlie left us April 10th that year. Good start Good finish!

Unsure how much this will impact pure glider pilots ... https://www.boldmethod.com/blog/lists/2020/04/4-policies-the-faa-has-changed-in-response-to-COVID-19

The Tost hydraulic brake cylinder mounted to my stick failed on my last flight. I've emailed Tost, but so far no response, which certainly might be virus related and therefore understandable. The brake worked fine before takeoff but before landing there was zero resistance when squeezing the...

Hey Guys, Yesterday was amazing! We maxed out our first server of 64 pilots and another 15 flew on the second server! It was a blast flying Sweet Red again. https://soaringeconomist.com/2020/04/10/1-26-extravanganza/ Tonight we are in Ridge North 2, flying out of Mifflin again. See you then!

Hey Guys, Come and join us in Slovenia tonight! You can fly the Blanik by default... If you're a *real* 'Merican, you'll choose the 1-26! https://soaringeconomist.com/2020/04/09/school-class-tonight/ All the best, Daniel

Received an email from Reiner Rose, saying the OLC League, scheduled to start April 18-19, has been postponed until May 30-31 worldwide. I assume this means only 13 weekends for scoring instead of 19 as in past years.

In 2004 a man was found dead in the "Flat Tops" area of Garfield County Colorado. I've been trying to help find his identity. Here's a link to him. https://www.namus.gov/UnidentifiedPersons/Case#/15487 The man left a hand written letter in a notebook with his last wishes written on it. Because...

Seminole-Lake Gliderport sadly announces we had a fatal glider accident today. The accident will be investigated by the FAA and NTSB, an inspector was on the scene today. We do not want to identify the pilot but he was flying a Standard Cirrus that he owned. He was NOT in the Senior Soaring...

The U. of Chicago has taken my infection rate metric (confirmed cases per million population) to the next level: interactive county-by-county visualization. This shows hot spots that state level data miss. Hot spots are counties with high infection rate that are surrounded by counties with elevated...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cambridge-Flight-Recorder-GPS-NAV-Model-20-Display-Cables-Disks-8-03-Calib/202949800202 Is it worth $100 or more or less?? It works as it turns on like is is supposed to.
