Soaring Centerfold by
[email protected]
I just got my latest Soaring magazine and really
liked the new centerfold shot. I hope they do this
every month.
Reminds me of the great shots by George Uveges
and Alex Aldott in the 70's soaring magazines.
Good Work Dennis and to the art director!

correct hydration - and rapid transits from high to
low atmospheric pressure.
There's a great deal we 'experts' do not understand
about the body - although we often think that we do.
