Thanks Jim. I just donated $200. Charge someone $10 and donate that the RRG instead of my free ride. Every little bit helps.

I've been in luxury restroom trailers at events with paintings on the walls and the only thing missing was the bathroom attendant! There are some very nice options out there.

The Paypal address is: REMOVED because of BOTS

Remember to select "send to friends and family" or SHGA is charged a fee.

By the looks of it that parcel doesn't have easy road access so there are much easier parcels to develop, which helps us unless the buyer also acquires adjacent parcels. Any development would take time but I still think we should do what we can to preserve our access and rights to launch. My fear ha...

Glad everyone was OK. As a previous recipient of bad flying and some good luck at Kagel I know that things could have been much much worse.

Google maps shows 1h 55m to Bear Mountain and 2h 13m to Midway Peak. Guess it would be a long day trip.

Thanks JD. OP - If that's what Davis Straub has to put up with, a private, closed non-SHGA affiliated group would be the best. Anyone can join the ozreport and see everything, same as here even if it was closed to web-crawlers. If anyone subpoenas SHGA a separate closed group would have nothing to d...

Videos of landings at Kagel bailout LZs

At some point I'm going to have to land somewhere besides the Kagel LZ, and hopefully that somewhere is a bailout LZ with an uneventful landing.
