Sylmar Hang Gliding Association

Looks like I got out of the club membership just in time...

Oh No! YHGA.org has been hacked, so go onto the YHGA website at your own peril! In any case, I wanna go in a non-flying capacity, and will chase Dave and anyone else who makes River Margaritas. http://yhga.org/signup.htm is a known malicious web site . It is recommended that you do NOT visit this si...

I hope to see everyone come out Sunday for a hamburger or brat! Pay no attention to those N winds, and come out for the sun, suds and fellowship!

Participants are invited to RSVP -- Please let us know if you will be bringing appetizers or potluck dishes!

I wish I could be there, but I am unable to. I will be there in spirit, though, and I could actually tell a few stories....like the time he actually wore a suit and tie (albeit a bit too tight) to attend a wedding in Yosemite that I also attended. If I can find a picture, I will post it as proof! E...

The SHGA is holding an Irish Wake for Erwin McDavid this St. Patrick's Day Sunday March 17, kinda. Actually, after flying we will have a BBQ in the LZ with booze, ballads (if you bring music) and stories about the great things Erwin did for the club and our flying community over the last two decade...

Who wants to help-out this coming St. Patty's day 17 March after flying?

I will be there. Great. Too bad you don't have free beer anymore. Who does BBQs at the LZ? We need them to join this shindig and make it happen. I don't yet have anyone offering to help with labor, booze, beef or ballads. Also, I don't have much credibility anymore; I only come out to the LZ for de...

Erwin’s ashes went to a nephew in Michigan. Let's say goodbye to him Irish Wake style, in the LZ. It doesn’t need more than a green theme, a handful of ballads, booze and a BBQ to happen. Anybody game? If McDavid isn't from Ireland, then don't tell the Irish, and remember that Erwin isn't around...

Erwin McDavid was cremated at the Armstrong family mortuary. His ashes were send to an Oakland County, Michigan nephew named Felix McDavid. Let's say goodbye to him Irish Wake style on St. Patrick's Day, Sunday, March 17. It doesn’t need more than a green theme, a handful of ballads, booze and a B...

Farewell Erwin -- RIP. Thanks for being there when I made 145 miles in the Big OV. You were always available to help when we were in need -- thanks for rescuing my sorry butt from that car wreak in the OV, and thanks for joining our wedding party in your handsome suit and tie. Forever yours, Grant &...

Congratulations, Rome.

You are and will always be one of the "1 percent" we admire and envy. May your next adventure be as exciting as the last.

Vrezh:
I am delighted you are flying again, and sorry I cannot join you.

Try being drilled between Aberdeen and Tinemaha in the OV. A least Bishop Hospital is only 20 minutes north.

Show a little respect, and cut some slack. Rome was developing new HG locations and methods before spell checkers existed, back when you were just a twinkle in your daddy's eye. If you two were around back then, you would have called his hang gliding f-ing insane.

Medium size well used Wills Wing Z5 harness free to a good home in the Los Angeles/Socal area. Must be a member of SHGA or Crestline and intending to personally use the harness. Also available as part of set with 20 Gore PDA parachute and 20 year old Afro vario, all for $200.

20 gore PDA parachute with paraswivel by Free Flight Enterprises has never been used, so it’s still clean and 100% undamaged. The lined bridle shows little dirt or wear. This parachute has a Pulled Down Apex (PDA) design for a lightning-fast opening-time and a slow descent rate. Best if used by a ...

Danny is home! I just spoke with the guy, and he is doing well now that he lives at home. Danny's wife Olivia says that Danny has recovered well enough to stay home with a care-giver. Danny says that he wants his friends and flying buddies to give him a call to say hello. In a few weeks he will be ...

For 10 years I lay my gliders directly upon the fiberglass shell covering my pickup truck bed, with a rack solely on the front. That way there was less damage to the gliders, and the fiberglass shell was none the worse.

Yesterday I visited Danny at his nice facility. My good news is that he seems comfortable and well cared for in a nice facility. Danny was responsive to my suggestions that he cooperate with his nurses and doctors, and we had light conversation regarding irrelevant things. The bad news is Danny is n...
