Having suffered my first ever migraine last night and specifically the visual disturbance (aura) that came with it, I am keen to discover how gliders pilots who are prone to migraines cope?

I did 216 mile out and returns on both Friday and Saturday; however, the OLC scored that as only a very small triangle. What gives? I see quite a few other flights that seem to have the same issue. Any way to correct this? ASW27BV

Having just washed and waxed the car with Zaino, I am wondering if anyone has used it on their sailplane. The Zaino web site states that it is OK for fiberglass and gel coat. Any one used it? What results/problems? ASW27BV

Witnesses indicate two sailplanes in the same thermal. Anyone have pilot names or are these Alberta Soaring Council people? Some of them were just here with their new winch, visiting us in the Southwest US. WWW.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/story/2011/09/04/bc-glider-crash.html Karen

Many of the boomers who started jumping off hills in the 1970's are getting tired of climbing the...
