Saturday's close call
On Saturday, I was flying over Locals at around 3800 feet when I saw a 737 behind Camp 9 at 4300 feet, heading at me and descending. I had 30 seconds to get out of the way before it came through my location, so I turned away from its flight path and dove. It crossed 200' or so over the location I ha...

Re: Yosemite
I'm heading up Friday. Lynn and I will be staying outside the park at the White Chief Mountain Lodge, in Fish Camp. Greg, do you have room for a falcon on your car? We want to take Lynn's new car and she doesn't have a rack on it.

Re: Yosemite
I would like to do Yosemite but probably only for the weekend itself, no extra days.

Re: Website migration
Hi Vresh, Maybe you need to clear the cache on your phone browser? I don't have an android so I don't know how to do that... possibly these instructions would be helpful: https://www.wikihow.tech/Clear-Your-Browser%27s-Cache-on-an-Android Next time you see me out at Kagel I can take a look at your p...

Re: Website migration
I'm still working on getting the rest of the site moved over to the new host. Once that's done, I will work on outstanding issues like this. Please feel free to post any problems you see with the site here and I'll see what I can do. I'll look into youtube video embedding, as well as imgur image emb...

Website migration
Hi all, As a first step in the website migration, I have updated the forum software (phpBB) to the latest version and moved it to a new hosting service, A2 Hosting. The website itself is still on the old host (ReadyHosting) but it now links to the new forum. Please let me know if you encounter any p...

FYI - Dave Turner from http://sierraparagliding.com found Ken's glider and has the precise location recorded. I put Dave and Ken in touch with each other (hopefully) and the glider can soon be high and dry rather than submerged and damp. Cheers, JD Sooo... here's the weird thing. That's not Ken's g...

Second. Did you ever recover the glider. Nope. Third you are lucky to be alive. Imagine if that had not been a calm section you touched down in. Yup. If I had made it to even the other side of that loop, it would have been a lot more dramatic. My first and only flight from Walt’s was landing at the...

It’s all right there. If you don’t have it, we can provide you with another copy. O.K. Please provide it right here and we'll see if it cites any of my actual words that were found to be in violation. Justice requires a number of things including: 1. Objective rules. 2. Citation of specific conduct...

I will add my story here, that Ken alluded to in the Owens post in the events section. I was setting up a landing north of BIGEARS (Owens Valley Radio Observatory) next to the Owens River. I planned a left handed aircraft approach onto a section of dirt road that was straight, clear of high bushes a...

Can you cite the post and my actual words that you feel violated any part of that rule? I'm asking so that it's clear what can and cannot be said on this forum. Thanks in advance. This information was already sent to you in the letter regarding your suspension. I know you are capable of being civil...
