OP
Yeah, it was great just to get out of the house, meet with the crew and head out to Santa Barbara! Great to see OP again, after all the rumors of him joining an ashram somewhere near Villa Grove, Colorado. I was expecting to see the pink turban. Whatever happened to that thing?

insurance
As for me, I'm with Ken. I've donated $200 and will probably do more before March 1, 2016.

You said it. This was Walt's last weekend. Fortunately, Arthur was there to represent!

Bob K
Sure, Bob K is perfectly within his rights to film, but his demeanor and attitude are inflammatory. He knew that his presence there would draw aggression. In fact, I believe that was his mission...to start something. He resents the control that those guys have over the launch and the concessions. Th...

Bob and Torrey
I understand Bob's point. Safety should be paramount, but in my estimation, he does nothing to further the sport. He makes himself a nuisance and never lets up. He wants to represent our hang gliding community and I believes he has good intentions, but his execution is nothing but destructive. I'm n...

Owens
Kia flys the Owens most every weekend. He says that you can launch as early as 8:30 AM or 9 and still get a great flight! Probably a good idea to launch early for H-3s.

Accident Report
As tragic and sad as this accident was, we can all take away something that will make us better pilots. I commend the accident review team for putting together such a comprehensive and well written report. I found Juan's comments particularly helpful. Many thanks to all of you.

Pat and I are looking forward to it!

Funsten
Me and OP headed up Memorial Day weekend and put the "Fun" back into Funston. The weather kind of sucked; wet, cold, cloud base 300 ft above launch, but that shit was blowing in! We flew at 9, 10, noon, you name it. Up and away, a few passes. Land, do it again. We worked it two days straig...

Fatal Crash
Thank you for posting this, Frederick. It is indeed a sad thing and we all miss Markus very much. Your post here helps to give us some closure. It does not ease the pain and sadness, but at least helps us to understand.

Funston
I'm still thinking Funston. Thinking about leaving the LZ Friday night and making it to Salinas by around 12.
