Western Seniors

We are trying to organize a Western Seniors for 2009. To
possible be held @ Warner Springs, Ca. from Sept. 9 thur Sept. 13 or
14. We had a western senior event years ago, but the
interest ...errrr... fell off. So, it would be the same format as the
Seniors in Seminole, being 55 and older along with guests.

This time of year theirs really great soaring available and all
would have a good and enjoyable time.

If theirs enough interest, its possible, so email me @
or showing your interest.
Its also post on my blog....http://711reporting.blogspot.com/

Thermal tight, Soar high, Fly safe....# 711.

Great idea there, Tom Tom. We had a couple of Western Seniors at
Estrella in the past and they were well attended. Count me in.

Thanks JJ. Pass the word around, maybe Ray Gimmey and some of
the others you know. I think having it at the end of the soaring
season will be good as everyone can reflect back on their adventures
of the past season.
Also, we have one evening which we plan on taking limo's down to
a sport coat event and dinner party at a winery. Now, that could be a
good bang for your buck.
Spread the word as we are thinking around 25 max or so.
Best regards, # 711.

Just thinking out loud, but what does making it "senior" get you other
than excluding the interesting new guys in this contest? I don't know
of many hot west coast under 55 pilots who are going to burn up the
skies on long tiring 6 hour flights and leave you old guys in the
dust. Well, I gues P7 isn't 55 yet; just give him a personal handicap!

Why not run a super-regional instead? Same concept, more gliders, more
pilots, encourage young new people.

The Region 12 was held at Warner Springs this year. Have you
looked at the SSA website at the turnout? I believe they plan on
hosting another Region 12 at Warners during the Spring of 2009.
Maybe, BB, you should host a Super Regionals anytime, anywhere,
anyplace you want this next year or any year. John, why don't you host
a Super Regionals in Parowan during Sept. of 2009? I will come and I
am sure, many others will. Parowan, in early Sept. can be really great
with long cloud streets, high bases,10 plus kt. lift. Great idea and I
am thankful your coming forward to do it.
BB, you aren't suggesting that "The Seniors" event in Florida be
ended in favor of your super regional idea? Naw, your not suggesting
that....my bad...sorry.
We had a Western Seniors before and we are just trying to see if
theirs interest to bring it back. That's all. A fun, end of season
contest, which will have guest's included. BUT we can work around
your contest dates for your super regionals in Parowan during Sept.
2009. Just let us know the dates. Thanks, John, and yes, we old guys,
never in fear, still enjoy kicking butts on younger, hot shots.
Errrr...how did that last day in Uvalde go, BB, anyway, I forget????

All in fun, love ya BB, ka smooch....... # 711.
