US Dollar sinks to new low against Euro by Mike Stringfellow
The US dollar is now valued close to 0.75 Euro, down from its peak of 1.25 a couple of years ago. Analysts say it may go even lower, with some projecting exchange rates of 0.7 (1.4 dollar to the Euro). This has pretty much put the kibosh on my goals of buying a new European sailplane. A model...

The Mt Washington wave camp last week was a great success with plenty of wave flights, one of which (Evan Ludeman) reached 31K. On another day a couple gliders were in wave when a slug of moisture closed the windows trapping them on top. One turned down wind and rode the undulations to drier air...
