It's the solstice, so you won't be doing much soaring... but you might
want to read about it.

I put two new articles on my webpage

http://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/john...m#safety_rules

"Team flying." Pilot to pilot radio communication will be allowed at
regionals this year. Some thoughts on how to make this innovation
work, and some hints on team flying.

The 2012 contest safety report. It's been a bad year for low-altitude
maneuvering. Accident review and some thoughts on steps we might take
to improve the situation.

I'm going to send "team flying" to soaring fairly soon, but I'm
curious to hear reaction from friends and the world of r.a.s. first.
That usually helps me to write better articles.
