Mid-air collision and PG crash at Crestline
Initial information seems to be incorrect. I am told that the pilot who crashed at Crestline Saturday before last at their Fly-in needed spinal fusion surgery. More information here:

We're planning to leave Tuesday evening and spend the night at a Primm NV casino. $32.61 through Priceline -- just the thing for world class cheapskate hang glider pilots. We'll get to Hurricane in time to fly on Independence Day. Then fireworks in the Park at 10 PM. Let's meet up at the house in th...

Owens flying
We got what we expected last weekend and that was a lot of north wind but still a good time in a marvelous place. We did manage a flight on the last day from the north end of the Alabama Hills into a light north wind and with an LZ that looks like it was made for us. It was fun trying something new....

Jonathan sent this to me this from the Funston Fellow Feathers forum: "...in case you have not heard the news, Barton had a heart attack yesterday at the fort as he was leaving. Cathy and Chas Nelson and Takeo Eda rushed to his aid and played a big part in saving his life before help arrived. H...

...one more thing. If you send me the deposit with Paypal, be sure to choose the friend or family option, not the payment for goods or services option, otherwise Paypal will take a cut.

Owens Valley over Memorial Day
Anyone want to go? I'm planning to head for Lone Pine for Memorial Day weekend and probably stay at Tuttle Creek. Dave VanNoppen is in and Kia and some PG friends of his also. One or two more and we'll look into a driver.

An easy and probably the best way to make your deposit is to use Paypal. You can transfer $100 to secure your spot by sending it to me at gregangsten (at) gmail.com. This way we will both have a receipt for your payment. I need to make a go, no-go decision sometime this month and if I don't get the ...
