The Republic of Texas was, and still is, a country.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Texas

And it still has its own navy!

People not from Texas think Texans to be full of themselves, but for
those of us who growed up there, and who have ancestors who fought in
its revolution in the first half of the 19th century, it is a unique
and wonderful American subculture.

Probably not - he's speaking American, not English.

As you can see - the Southern Hemisphere pilots are too busy flying to
post. Lots of 1000km flights done from Bitterwasser, Pokweni, Gariep
etc in Africa and in the various Australian sites. The forecast for
tomorrow at my home club is 4m/s thermals up to 16 000ft. Pretty poor
compared to the 7m/s to 20 000ft they are predicting for Gariep. I
managed to do my Distance Diamond on a blue day off a cable break on
Tuesday. Oh - I live in South Africa.

OK RAS folks. If you are really interested in locations of members. Why
not someone, but only one, set up a group name, such as
recaviationsoaring on this site:

http://www.frappr.com/

Then let everyone know here and we all can then pinpoint our locations!
In another aircraft group I belong to we do just that. It's nice in
that we can post pics of our planes and faces. And its free.
