Received via the Seattle Glider Club e-mail list from John Gilbert: (I am forwarding this email from the Evergreen Soaring president - both Wil and Paul were Evergreen members at the time of the accident - John) Evergreen Members, By now most of you have heard about the mid-air collision that

Dave Springford had what looks to me, as a very nice, for 2-22-19, soaring flight in Florida today. 500 Km OLC Looks like a lot more fun than snowblowing my driveway which is what I did today. Congratulations!

I received overnight a "letter" from O.L.C- . The body of the email says, "Please see the enclosed letter from OLC." There was an attachment that is named, "Your reference and file number.jpg". Seemed fishy. Making sure that my virus protection was up to date, I...

I've researched the sight for as much info as I can gather for transponders. The choice now is, which transponder to buy. The Becker or the Microair? Is one really better than the other? There is not a real difference in the price point. Is there enough differencer betwwen warranty, service...

I looked at his profile and his e-mail address is German ". Now I understand his mean spirited agenda. What a shame... One has to really drop low to be doing this kind of thing.

So far, all of my glider launches have been by aero-tow. I would like to broaden my experience a bit, and try some sort of ground launch. I'm trying to interest my club here in San Francisco in trying auto-towing one weekend. How much should we expect to spend on the gear? It basically comes...

This week I had the pleasure to fly with a couple of freshly minted 2nd Lt.'s from the US Air Force Academy class of 2006. They were converting their glider time from the USAFA soaring program to civilian CFIG's. To say this young lady and gentleman are "good sticks" would be an understatement. ...

Glenn and Matt Holden have added more photos of the 2005 Region 5 North race, currently underway at Perry, South Carolina, USA. http://gahsys.com/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=r5n05&page= 1 They've included some nice photo's of several pilots waiting on the grid. They all seem to have...

Hi, I'm planning a trip to Canada for may and/or june this year. I plan to visit roughly the region west and North of Edmonton, say between Yellowknife and Vancouver :-) Does anyone know if there are any soaring operations that would give me an opportunity to fly there? Is there a thing like a map...

Hi , for your info, there is a Schempp-Hirth Standard Cirrus 15mtr span standard class glider for sale in north florida, Gainesville area, right off I-75 just about 70 miles south of the georgia border.

http://www.firnspiegel.com/perlan/ Well I suppose those that have a problem with Klaus Ohlman flying a self-launcher in the Andes, can go apes--t over this :)

Casey, The AOPA is a mixed blessing for glider pilots. It is by far the best aviation advocacy group (perhaps in the world), and they appear to provide beneficial services to individual members. But they advocate selectively. And glider pilots are so far down the list, it would be easier to...

Does the iPAQ 38xx with it's 206 MHz processor work ok with Winpilot ADV.I'm a bit concerned that with the mapping feature on that the whole thing may slow right up - any advice much appreciated.

Both Pawnees at the local glider club suffer from leaking front crankshaft oil seals. One has had several oil seal changes and the problem is not cured, the other started leaking within a few hundred hours of a major overhaul. One is in original fixed prop configuration and the other was...

Last year I was looking for such a device to allow me to montitor my speed more easily on approach so I didn't have to glance at the panel during this critical stage of flight. I found this affordable, small box that plumbs into your pitot line and runs on 12V. It is made in England. I only turn it...

Is portable TABS (non 2020 compliant ADS-B-out) coming to the USA in 2020? This unit looks a lot like portable TABS. https://uavionix.com/products/skyecho/ It also implements FLARM, and I think that would need to be disabled in the USA. The price point looks right.
