Sylmar Hang Gliding Association

Thanks for posting Tom's flight. Just amazing to watch and appreciate the amount of work it took to make goal. BZ.

La Salina is coming up in just 2 days! I will be sending out an e-mail direct to all the participants, but just in case, let's review: 1. Most everyone is departing Thursday afternoon. Be in the LZ with your gear NO LATER THAN 5 PM. Trucks load at 5 and we launch at 6 PM (or earlier if we have every...

Great job, Tom! You and Bill were scrappers. You never gave up. Awesome flights for both of you, and you showed us what an H-2 on an F-3 can really do! YEAH!

Feel free to lead the way next XC!

Mike, as hard to believe as it may be, we are leaving the weekend FOLLOWING Memorial Day WE.

Each group will leave at approximately 5 to 6 PM. Plenty of time to get to the LZ or somewhere along the way.

Bummer. Waaaaaa!

No problem, Bill. Got ya covered.

Guys and Gals, I'm still working on this but it looks like I've got the cost down to about $45 per head per night, not including taxes or breakfast. I'm still trying to nail this down. Breakfast will be an additional/optional $8. We might be able to do better outside the hotel. We're talking about O...

I agree that a face to face would be very constructive, however, not 100% necessary. We can do a lot of this by e-mail and phone. We will do our best to get a solid head count before we call the live meeting. Wait till I get the final room cost from the hotel before we start counting our chickens. S...

No problem, Don. We can arrange a rendezvous somewhere near the 405/710 Junction. Where is your glider? Do you carry it with you, or will you need us to bring it down from Sylmar?

We'll work out the transport logistics (drivers/passengers) once we have a good head count. I'll get back to you.

Thanks for taking the lead on this, Max. Please start rounding up your donations. It would be great if every person who attended brought a bag of goodies. Big bag, little bag, it does not matter. Whatever you can give will be appreciated. Perhaps we have a point of contact down there who can give us...

Thanks, Bill. Away Team it is. I should have some numbers from the hotel very soon.

Hey guys, I missed the last three entries. Yes, let's encourage folks to bring rackets, volleyballs, frisbees, etc. I'm going to look into creating a bonfire for Saturday night. Here's a broad sketch of the plan: 1. The "Away Team" will depart on Thursday late afternoon/early evening and a...

Yes, I made that clear in the original post, but thanks for the opportunity to remind everyone.

Get you passports in order NOW. It can take up to three weeks if you dont have one. Adam took care of his on Monday and they told him "up to three weeks".

Right on, Tom Consider yourself on the list!

Awesome, Brandon! You were on my list! Beg your wife to come. She'll thank you for it, and let you go on other trips when they come up. Plus, my wife will be there and she's going to need some company. MAKE THIS HAPPEN, DUDE. YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS TRIP!

No, sorry, no discount if your just doing two days. Sorry, but we gotta pay the bills. Even if you are only going for two days, I promise it will be cheap at twice the price.

OK, all you H-2 Pilots, listen up; Just to make sure everyone is clear, all H-2s on the La Salina trip will be under the watchful instruction of Joe Greblo. As such, the fee for said tutelage will be $100 to Windsports, which will cover all three days, should you elect to come out with the Away Part...

Sony, you are on the list! Please send me your contact info (e-mail, phone numbers, etc.) to steve90266@gmail.com

Eric Brown, I've got you down! Thanks, Eric. It's going to be awesome! Bring your beach towel!

Great News! Two more have joined us!

Bill Brick & Jacquie Kakiki

working on bringing BJ and his lovely wife Laura. Don't worry, BJ, you won't be making any pancakes unless you really, really want to.

I'm working on getting the hotel to throw in some kind of breakfast with our stay.
