Re: Saturday's incident

Damn Vrech, what a helluva flight. You won’t be forgetting this one any time soon! And although you are expert at landings, sounds as if this one might be way up there considering the challenging conditions, to say the least... After your mandatory vacation, I will be routing to see you in the air a...

Rotor Vulto Harness & Hook Knife "Jack Safety Knife Brand" (The Lara Gold 250 parachute & drogue chute has been sold.)

This harness has been very good to me. I have had no problems with it whatsoever. I would say it is in really good condition but dusty from setting up on Kagel mountain in the dirt. I am 5' 11" and it was bought when I weighed 200 pounds. Still fits when I was 230 pounds. Comes complete with ca...

Re: Katherine Yardley - Sad News

One of our great SHGA pillars. Selfless in spirit, time and guidance in helping to make SHGA what it is today. And always with a smile. I defer to Joe's words above on more of how great a person Katherine was. All I can say is that when I look back over my lifetime Katherine was one of those few peo...

Re: Return of the Falcon League

Ken,

Can't think of a better way of coming out after a long flying pause. Your invitation is the impetus! I need locate a BIG falcon though and will probably ask Mr. Joe to rent one. See you Saturday!

I have you all know, without Joe the SHGA would be a shadow of what it is today, if we would be in existance at all. Thank you very much Mr. Joe. You are the best!

Does the Club have insurance? Chip, your homeowner's and/or auto insurance may also cover the loss. Let us know what you find out from all three!

Oh, and sounds like we need a couple cameras on the parking area of the LZ, even if these are fake for the time being, to deter theft and, once working, to catch the basturd(s)!

Great suggestions OP! Chip, how can we help you get back in the air before the comp? I'll gladly donate $100 if someone will take up a collection (I am not around to do a collection myself). Rob, how 'bout the club pitching in the $ on a donation and/or loaner basis? Chip has done many times that fo...

Jeez, what outside crap on OUR forum. I hope we wake up soon and rid ourselves of this crap. We have a know outcast bogarting our forum ad nauseam and agitating us (practically shoving down our throats) to make his wishes come true. Anyone else besides him care about his dream to have the Hawks fly ...

Bob, What prices? Our dues (insurance included) are very reasonable. No comparison to auto insurance costs. With that reasoning you are fighting a non-issue. And why risk flying without insurance? Lawsuits will close your flying sites down, guaranteed. And the fallout will scare away other flyers no...

I would venture to say that as a USHPA non-member soliciting for the US Hawks here on the SHGA forum - essentially the competition - is "over the top". It will be interesting to see if the SHGA elected officials continue to let you do this. You have already seen clear actions from these of...

Bob, all that stuff about the past again? Like I said before your last rehash, take the USHPA to court to be reinstated! You have already tried your case here on the SHGA forum and got whatever support you could. Any more about this same subject from you on this forum is simply psychotic. You said a...
