This is also the date of the Andy Jackson Airpark anniversary fly-in. Any chance for a re-schedule or perhaps someone can record the presentation on video for those who can't bifurcate their astral spirits?

I have to agree. This is bad timing.

Honestly? I'd move the presentation to Crestline and encourage as many Sylmartians as possible to attend the CSS Fly-in and stay for the lecture if Mike and Joe are willing.

Super Event!!

Thanks for a great event and fine hospitality from a great club.

I've posted a few pictures of the event (and of Mike flying the Alpha earlier at Dockweiler) at the Friends of Dockweiler Gliding Society forum here:

Could we just take a minute to acknowledge Kevin Kernohan? The combination of his hard filmic work, numerous contributions to creature comforts in the L/Z, shrewd insights, acerbic wit, and being owned by the fluffiest dog--ever, make him EPIC!
Thank-you Kevin!
YOU TOTALLY $*&W*TT*R ROCK!
