Re: Sylmar flying ‘76

Great pictures, Mario! Thanks for sharing. ***At about the same time on the other side of the world me and my friends, bunch of high school teenagers, saw some pictures from fairy tail land California in the magazine, that looked very much like yours. Inspired, we desperately tried to build a glider...

Rattlesnake season

It’s that time of the year again, folks. Beware of rattlesnakes! I’ve seen them on the road to launch and around the setup area recently, and this one was curled up near my harness under the setup glider today. Hang your harness from your glider rather than laying it down on the ground. Stay out of ...

Free Aeros Stealth 13

I still have my old Aeros Stealth 13 in the garage. Haven't flown for many years, can't vouch for airworthiness. If anyone wants it, I can bring it to the LZ. (shuffling through old photos, remembered, I had so many great flights on this glider) https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/7ll97gaao-lnHh46TOh6...

Anyone happen to have a useless glider bag laying around?
Need one about 16+ foot long, regardless of condition.

Re: RASP Update

Hello Alan, Thanks again for your wonderful public service! Ever since I resumed flying, I religiously follow the weather every day, (even though I fly mostly weekends). Checking out Windgrams and Rasp for Kagel is a given. To give you a feedback, according to my observations, they undercall almost ...

Saturday's incident

Dear friends, On Saturday, March 13 I had a heart attack while in the air. Heart attacks don’t happen in an instant, the symptoms start building up, and gradually take over. I was near the Towers, just climbing out after a long straggle, soon joined by John. The moment I knew what’s happening, I wen...
