With many new soaring related books I have been enjoying George Lee's new book, Hold Fast To Your Dreams. George is a great guy and I thought I

Is it time to move RAS to a more solid footing? Could there be a small "elected" group that acts as moderators essentially tossing anything that is not soaring related of which there are more and more posts appearing as the nuts and spammers get more active in these un-moderated newsgroups. Is it...

Does anyone know of a good graphic design person for some contest related logo work?

Is there a video that was shot on the ridge? Where can one get a copy?

Today, in celebration of the arrival of the Vernal Equinox, I am going to make a sacrifice in a pagan rite that goes back into prehistoric times. I have chosen for the sacrificial victims a steer and a potato (hamburger and fries). Tomorrow, I am going to fly my sailplane for the first time of...

I am selling my 1985 Ventus C. It has both 17.6m winglets and custom 15m winglets. Komet trailer. 15m winglets were custom made from Masak bases and Ventus 2A fins. The panel and all components were replaced with new when I imported and Americanized it in 2001: SN10B. Volkslogger. SB9 backup vario...

Thank all of you for your suggestions and stories. I settled on proposing the Bob Korves-related tale of the contest pilot who landed out above the clouds because it would give me the opportunity to show 15 minutes of kick-ass aerials at the beginning before people changed to the ALL NASCAR CHANNEL...

Fellow soarists, I did not make myself clear. My apologies. The production company is not making a slasher flick. It is trying to find EXPEDITIONS with an element of danger that might include a survival segment. In soaring, we have plenty of possible danger. These guys are seeking expeditions....

PEZ completes lesson one of soaring. All the other lessons will be posted tomorrow.

www.soaravenal.com Click on What's New. With this episode completed, the cartoon is finally ready to start telling stories of the travails of sailplane pilots, and particularly Pez, who have adventures in pursuit of the cubic zirconium chips we all cherish. Pez is going cross country. The...

Start your New Year with a New Pez. www.soaravenal.com click on What's New button. Pez is almost ready to start work on his diamonds and tell his many landout stories, which are really your landout stories and my landout stories.

New Pez is posted. www.soaravenal.com click on What's New button. Pez is going for altitude.

There used to be. There are plenty of agplanes, lots of lift, a zillion duster strips, friendly people and the most important elements: great beer and tacos. So, does anyone know anyone to contact about it? They are real sticklers for gringos filing flight plans.

Pez is posted. www.soaravenal.com click on the What's New button then New(est) Pez. Pez, as you can see, is a real Ambassador for the Sport of Soaring.

Ladies and Gentlemen: I have been contacted by a television production company creating a series on adventure sports. They were very impressed with the crappy media I gave them about soaring and would like to include an "expedition" if we can meet their parameters. It is Friday afternoon and I...

The buzz is that SpaceShipOne shoots tomorrow. I'm going to be freezing my ass off out there with my binoculars. I missed the Wright Bros. I missed Jimmy Doolittle doing the outside loop. I missed Yeager breaking Mach One. I missed Armstrong walking on the moon. I missed the Voyager flying around...
