He may be on to us. Maintain radio silence until further coded orders
are issued.

I think a rousing chorus of

"I'm a gliderpilot... I'm OK
I sleep all night and I fly all day!"

might be more appropriate. Looks I just got done chopping wood.

Great shot of you, Andy and friends. You've just given me a great idea.
Keep an eye out in Soaring.

Real men (and women) fly taildraggers and go through finish gates in
their sailplanes (not motorgliders).

Finishing at 500' is like kissing your sister. (ok, maybe not YOUR
sister...)

And there is absolutely no truth to the rumor of ASA Neanderthals
perrforming double formation low passes over FAA Designated Examiners.

66 actually accomplished soaring flight (twice!) Sunday at Silvercreek.
.5 knots to 3000', over an hour each time. Both flights culminating
in simulated gate (not cylinder) finishes.

Mental health trip to P48 scheduled for this coming weekend. Warning:
all unlocked glider trailers may have their contents subjected to a
spot rig&fly inspection.
