As we all look at the weather it is difficult to not see all the attention presented by Dorian, the big monster headed our way. Most of the last two days were spent preparing our club here in Vero Beach for what could be a devastating blow. All gliders were boxed and stored, I moved Eileen's ASW24...

It operates at ISM band radio but also capable to receive ADS-B reports at aviation frequency. It is mainly targeted for our...

Hi, Misplaced wing pins and tail pin for L33 Solo (got distracted). Waiting 10 month for delivery from Europe. Just wandering if there is any available on the open market. Willing to pay. If you have some pin or know of a glider that is not flyable, I would be interested. Thanks, Jerry

After pressing ENT button normal 1202 squawk reappears for about only a minute . Public ADS-B performance report from my flight is fine. Anyone had similar...

The current rankings are now available at http://soaringweb.org/US_Team/. There have been significant changes to the rules, and the processes for generating the rankings have been completely re-written, so even though the rankings have been checked by many eyes there could well be glitches. If...

I have not visited this site in several years. Several years ago an abandoned and decaying glider was spotted in the desert in the western part of the USA. No one was sure of the make and model of this glider, how it got there, whose it was, etc. Has there any update been made on this mystery? Nyal...

I keep hearing that that is a good thing, but I beg to differ.Â* Some times it's a good thing to be able to extend the brakes/spoilers in flight without lowering the gear. An example of the above is when you're cruising under a cloud street and, through inattention or poor planning, you get a...

Does anyone still have much contact with George? I was jknow he has been out of the soaring limelight for awhile now but just wondering how he was doing. I learned alot from him back in the day and had the opportunity to pick his brain when he was out at Minden working with Dick Brant and the big...

Having heard great things about soaring in Utah, I'm a but confused about where each outfit is based. A call to the USA didn't help. It might be a lot to ask, but much appreciation to someone who could review the various soaring opportunities (towing? guest flights? Season?) in the state....
