Hey Abigel, I'll take the 7.5 million. You will definitely not be placing it in the WROUNG hands! Bad speelers of the world unite! :) JJ

RAS, Here are some pictures from the VSA rally in Wichita on Sept. 26. Leah and I had an absolute blast! http://picasaweb.google.com/abcondon/VSAWichita#

Hi all, this is the the most recent update to my learning to fly diary www.learningtoflydiary.com

Congratulations to the winners at New Castle ! In all three classes, winning cockpits were equipped with ILEC SN10 and PDA-free ;-) See ya, Dave "YO electric"

Hi, I have added an interesting short clip of an ETA glider landing in Rieti with 30kn wind ( I made it on august). Wings are bending so much! For those interested, it's here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vnRbHEfWHo&feature=channel_page greetings Paolo

I am looking to collect stories from Zuni Pilots, past and presently flying the type. What was your first flight like? Any memorable flights? Win a day at a contest? Win a contest? Complete a badge leg on a day you didn't think you had a chance to make the flight? How many hours and flights...

I had a nasty land-out the other day, hit heavy sink while deep in the mountains east of Williams, Ca. I lost 2500 feet in no time and found myself below the mountain tops. Went to the 'Alternates' page on my trusty SN-10 only to find I wasn't within gliding distance of any listed alternates. I ran...

Questions? ask New Sporting Code rules go into effect on 1 October, and most changes have been posted online at SSA.org since May. As of 25 September, however, a finding by FAI’s International Gliding Committee (“IGC”) ALSO means that as of 1 October 2009 - • A pre-flight...

I just saw this. Doesn't look good. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/10/01/nextgen_on_track/page2.html -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |

Hey guys, just a note that we will be using the 2-33s for the Winch Week in November. Some of you have been asking if we will be winching the new Duo. We will not be using the new Duo Discus on the winch. We are really excited about having a Duo Discus on the field for instruction, cross country...

AT&T and Terrestar announced a 3G and satellite capable phone today. Available in 2010 through AT&T this solution sounds like it would be great for those areas in the western US that do not have consistent cell phone coverage. Of course cost will be of high interest as the user will be required to...

Need the Ribbon chute for an ASW17 or Nimbus 2. Anyone got one in their hanger? Cheers Al

I fly a Nimbus 4DM motor glider, owned by a syndicate that operates out of Lasham, UK. A breathtaking machine, particularly when I compare it to gliders I flew decades ago such as the Grunau, Olympia (Meise), and then the Skylark series. But I digress ... This post on the international soaring...

An interesting article just appeared in Aviation Ebrief: "Holland's trial of Mode-S transponders led to a requirement that all aircraft operating within Dutch airspace be equipped with the transponders. However, the ATC system was overwhelmed by data from the Mode-S transponders, and now all...

This one was pointed out to me and at $425 looks like it will give us what we need..... http://www.wdlsystems.com/downloads/specs/1EPDX5U_s.pdf Cheers Al

Well, I did it. I can't help myself. After hanging out with the VSA guys all last weekend, Leah decided she needs to start flying gliders, and Dave Schuur helped convince her that that Cherokee in Lawrenceville would be great for her. So we're going to get it. I'm looking for a towball headed...

See http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/20 09/09/25/AR2009092501910.html?referrer=emailarticle The sport of soaring is very easy to get major publicity to a very hungry media. Tom Knauff
