Sylmar Hang Gliding Association

This is the funniest damned thing I've ever read on a club forum. The last line... oh man.

Talk about bringing a Panzer to a knife fight.

It's been a while since I was on the board at CSS, but I spent a significant amount of time dealing with an idiot pilot who, among other things, didn't want to fly with a helmet. Helmets are required for insurance reasons, even for kiting in the LZ. It's a fine line to walk: ensuring safety (and ins...

I checked out that launch on a visit to family in South Bend. Now, I'm downright tempted. I thought it was closed down during the summer. What times of the year is it operational?

Hey all, Come join the CSS at AJX on the 9th for the Andy Jackson Airpark Anniversary Fly In. We'll have food, tunes, flying, and fun. I'm not running it this year, so I am vague on the specifics, but people close to their hang 3s or hang 4s, or those wanting to practice launches, approaches and lan...

Hey all, The Crestline Soaring Society's party for the 15th Anniversary of the Andy Jackson Airpark is this Saturday, July 10. Bring any hang gliding gear you are thinking about selling, we'll have a swap meet area where you can sell your spare flying gear, with donations of 10% (up to a scant $50) ...

Once the wings are on the cart, wind doesn't matter... Loading them on the LZ is not a problem (grass). The wind speed limits will be "how comfortable do you feel unloading?". That will be pilot choice. It is more a question of ground handling skills. My first breakout flight was in 15 mph...

Even more importantly, It's a BBQ for Owen Morse in honor of his Presidential Citation. Food and drink are free. Normal club dues and camping fees apply. I noticed the SHGA moved its Spring Festival, sorry about the initial conflict, we've not been as quick about announcing events this year. The nex...

When was it purchased?

Just one note: check with Dan the LZ owner on any trip to Dunlap. He's friendly and hospitable, just likes to know who's coming.

JT and Barton's posts on this recall have been consistent with the concept that all people hate Bob as much as they do. They've also been consistent with the concept that the Internet is this magical, anonymous place where you can spew all kinds of hate and childish comments without repercussions in...

Joe, Thanks for buying the skip loader. I am looking forward to seeing your improvements. I have 4 bits of feedback from down the 210. 1. If the club buys the skip loader, I hope it's clear that it should be for what Joe has put into it, every dime. He got a great deal and he assumed the risk that t...

Great opportunity to buy... prices won't be this low again.

Dream big!

Fredo goes against the family again.

Yo slymartian brothers and sisters, I've got some 'sperience from cutting via testes about bridges, culverts, and diverting waterways... and ours was a non-blue-line ravine, whereas you're dealing with a flat out river. If you muck around in the wash much with Joe's skip loader or build a bridge or ...

Bob K was digging in the dirt with bare hands to help me install drain pipes on a new road above the LZ at AJX last week. He told me to call him whenever we had a work party. If these wankers successfully recall the only RD I've seen at AJX in years (the last was little John handing out awards to Ow...

Great to see so many pilots make the drive down from Sylmar. Thanks for coming!

Some asked about buying shirts, I stripped out the award info and generated a link to buy them online.

No profit to us, just a souvenir in case you want.

Great decision not to do a 360. Good landing. Andy Jackson has a designated overshoot below parking lot. I know, I've hit it. It looks like you landed to the left of it. In my case, like you, my hands were on the downtubes through the whole pattern and I couldn't get any more speed/sink out of my fa...

Weather permitting... Good grub Fun flying Spot Landing Slip 'n Slide Friends Show up, Sign In ($10 day use fees for non-members), get yer meal tickets ($10 for dinner and a couple of beverages), Sign up for the spot landing, walk the LZ, drive up, fly down, break down, party. http://www.hanggliding...

Just bumping this as a reminder... we've got a live band from 5-9, a slip and slide for the kids (and a-dults), and a spot landing competition for $5 (the trophies are hats with the placement embroidered on the back and Crestline Soaring Society on the front). http://www.crestlinesoaring.org/andy_ja...
