2011 Seniors Day 5 Report by
Frank Paynter[_2_]
Well, today dawned foggy again, but at least I wasn’t accosted by the
hawk family on my run. I think I was early enough so they couldn’t
see me go by in all the fog.
At the morning meeting, weatherman Ray Galloway told us that the
synoptic weather conditions were pretty much the same as...

flyWithCE Tip #3: Share flights with your friends by
Uros[_3_]
This happened to most of us - after interesting flight you would like
to show the flight track to your fellow pilots and friends. The
easiest way out is sending IGC file by Email. But there are two
problems. First you have to find appropriate IGC file (they all have

Flight planning and software for the Mac by
5Z
I'm using parallels on my MacBook to run SeeYou on Windows XP and quite happy with the solution, pretty much transparent as it's possible to make the Windows app look like it's running natively on the Mac's desktop.
Another option is http://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover/ which...

Hint #1 - If your glide computer or PNA can't handle the airspace file

canopy seal by
[email protected]
Hi there, I have about 70 ft. of 5.5 mm silicone tube that I used to
seal my canopy. The manufacturer is selling it in 100 ft section and
that is how I ended up with that excessive amount. If anyone has an
interest of buying it, please call me at 509-380-4106.

Bird vision by
bildan
This story ( http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/03/110316222022.htm
) may explain some encounters with birds.
A couple of weeks ago I had a red tail hawk glide nonchalantly across
my flight path between the tow plane and me.
