Nicely produced YouTube video

This very nicely done video interweaves profiles of Tony "TS1" Smolder
and the Tucson Soaring Club.

I especially like "the orgasm at the end of the flight"!

Just shows what you can do with a professional camera crew and editors
who know how to tell a story.

TUSC goes from strength to strength with increasing membership,
several recent private ship acquisitions by members and a growing
cross-country group. The Open Day featured in the video definitely
helped.

The weather station at El Tiro Gliderport is back on line too, so you
folks back east can check out our 70-degree weather. There were
thermals today too!

The 70 degree F in January seemss attractive, but the catch is the 110
degree F at 1700 in November! No thank you - too damn hot! I'm sure
August is absolutely, positively outrageous...

Ah, but when it's 110 on the ground, it's nice and cool at cloudbase
over the Canyon...

I'll bet, but you have to be functional enough to survive the tow. I
wouldn't be conscious 30 seconds after the canopy closed...

Hmmm,
When I'm sweating in my Grob Solar Sauna, I just remind myself that
lots of people spend good money at "Health Clubs" to sit in a 180
degree room with a bunch of nearly naked fat guys. Then I climb to
17k, chill out, and enjoy the view.

Hey John what Tucson are you writing about?!

I've lived in southern Arizona all but one year since 1990 and never
saw it at or near 110 in Tucson in any month of the year. The average
high in November is only 72, and the highest average high temp is 100
in June!

Tony Smolder, Tuscon Soaring Club, Writer / Producer Gene Einfrank,
Photographer / Editor Dan Sheffer
(and I'm sure a cast of many others):

WELL DONE!

The weather station failed due to water damage in a thunderstorm and
the temperature defaulted to a constant 109.6 degrees late last
summer. I just got it back online with new hardware and am working to
update the webcams. I did see the temperature over 100 degrees a few
times last summer, but it never made 110. Anyway, we have a couple of
good antidotes - if you're flying, get high and stay high, if you're
on the ground, apply cold beer!
