new SSA web site by Moshe Braner
The "new web site" is live, and it is very slow to load, and I can't find anything... Where did the state records go? And when I tried to login it made me spend much time training Google's AI via a "Captcha" - I hate those things with a white-hot passion! And then it rejected my password. (I...

A new direction for an old thread: Crosswind landings by [email protected]
The last few threads I initiated were preambles to a discussion I don't think we've sufficiently explored. Those of you who keep track will recall that I've asked first, whether we are sufficiently well-trained (Dear Burt), and second, if some of the models we use to understand flight couldn't...

Another midair in the pattern by JJ Sinclair[_2_]
When I see the NTSB report 2 aircraft accidents at the same date, time & place, it only means one thing. They came together in the air or on the ground. On 12/20/10 in Madras Origon, a Taylorcraft and Cessna came together while both were trying to land on runway16. The Taylorcraft didn't have a...

Tesla Model 3 and a glider by bertvaneyken

June 2nd at about 130PM Pacific it appears that trackers stopped working. InReach and SPOT both dropped out. Tracking sites show yesterday's complete tracks today. My APRS did not function properly yesterday, which may or may not be related. Did not see evidence in flight of GPS jamming. Received...

US Rules Committee to ban XC Soar in US soaring competitioneffective immediately? - Ahh the "genius!" by Sean Fidler
I hate to bring this up again...but I must. I have learned this morning that XCSoar is to be banned from US soaring competitions.

We had two landouts at Seminole yesterday, both in the same field, - a pasture with cattle and a locked gate. One of the pilots visited a nearby farmhouse, and spoke with the wife of the property owner asking permission to enter and a key. She was very nice and called her son. He agreed to call...
