Thanks for the video. Very cool.

Thanks for all the responses, suggestions and words of good will. The server does not seem to be sending out notices that someone is responding to a post, so I just found out about all the entries now. I need to alert Mr. Chip. Doug's info from the day before would have been invaluable (hind sight, ...

Nice videos, Oscar. I like that crazy launch. Wish that coulda been me on Sunday.

They say things happen in threes. I say you just don't notice it until the third time. Let's hope this entry heads off the fourth. There's a demon been running 'round launch, and it's taken down three pilots, of which I was the third. I lived to tell about it, so I'm writing this down in hopes that ...

What a successful trip! It was great to see so many people in attendance. Someone told me we had around 40 people in the camp site! It was great. Special thanks to BJ, Cindy, Joe G., for making the trip such an enjoyable and easy experience. I know the entire group appreciates all the hard work you ...

Thanks for posting this, Janyce. That was nice.

Jonathan, you've got to submit this photo to HG magazine for publishing. Just awesome. Should be on a calendar. Keep up the good work!

P.S.-man, what do you do for money? I want THAT job. You ALWAYS get to fly!

Once there, we can use our radios to some degree. Let's agree on a frequency (probably the standard club would be easy to remember). Don's right though. I was incommunicado all week end last year.

BJ-I'm In!! Last year was amazing, although my flights only averaged about an hour and a half each. But I think I broke 14K the second day. I remember thinking I could see my house from up there. Plus, if you're in, then I'm hoping for the 'ol pancake breakfasts! Let's coordinate. I volunteer to be ...

Eric, looks like it was a great time. The worst day of flying is better than the best day at work. You have to show me what kind of a mount you use for your camera. See you on the hill!

Frack, that looked frikkin low! Nice save. Just dont make a habit of it. And NO ONE is innocent.

Jonathan! Jonathan! Jonathan!

Nice video. I was wondering what happened to your posts. Keep up the good work!

I agree with Jaromir Wagner, that dogs should be kept on a leash and out of the main grassy area. I'm OK with folks keeping their dogs on the periphery of the park, in the shade of surrounding trees, etc. but always on a leash.

I admit it. I'm a dog lover. I've got three little dogs that my wife likes to bring with her when she comes out to the flight park. They keep her company while I go flying. She always keeps them on leash and always brings her own bags in case of doggie doo doo. Picking up after your dog is not a har...

For those of you curious about Doodle Bugs, but are too shy to ask.

Very clever, Max. I'm going to try that next time. Meanwhile, I got my new Z-5 a couple of days ago. Headed to the mountain this afternoon to try it out!

Here's the link to a video I made of the trip. YouTube made me take out the music. Kinda dry, but here you go...cut and paste

Gang, what can I say? The La Salina trip was just plain SPECTACULAR. Picture this - soaring with a gaggle of 15 your friends, all in the air at once, laughing, cracking jokes, waiving to one another, calling out thermals, and basically playing together in the air for 2 hours. Then all safe landings,...

Joe would prefer cash. Max checked the weather, and it looks so so right now, but I'm optimistic that it will improve. I'd like to pick you up on the south side of the 405 Fwy, at the intersection of Irvine Center Drive and Research Drive. Will that work for you? Bring at least one item for the orph...
