Tales of being distracted by scenery and/or euphoria while soaring by son_of_flubber
Like many pilots, I try to be extremely cool and rational when I'm flying a glider and (such as it is)I enjoy my technical mastery of soaring, and I enjoy the companionable and endless discussion of technical detail on the ground. But I fly in eastern-scale 'mountains', often below the ridge...

50 years of space (Not related to soaring) by Bill Daniels
I remember vividly a cold dark night in the New Mexico desert. It was 1957 and the Russians had just launched Sputnik. The USAF needed help obtaining orbital data for the worlds first satellite. I found myself, a 16 year old high school science club member, at a theodolite staring at the star...

GPS active antennas by Martin Gregorie
For some reason there seems to be a rash of new third party active flat antennas going cheap on eBay right now. Prices are around GBP 24.00 while retail prices range upward from GBP 35 or so. I just bought one for my GPS II+, fitted it and flew it yesterday. Works fine and is definitely giving a...

WINDOW DECAL by Vorsanger1
A car passed me the other day. On the rear window was a decal or sticker with the white silhouette of a sailplane. It was approx 10 - 12 inches. This product seems not to be available through the SSA. Does anyone out there know about this, where it can be procured ? Cheers, Charles

best bet under 10K by [email protected]
I've been looking around the for-sale ads for sailplanes, and it seems to me if I am willing to spend between ten and twenty thousand bucks, there is a lot to choose from. There are plenty of older fiberglass sailplanes in that range, and some decently-performing metal ships like the 1-35. But...
