April altitudes
Very cool day. I played hookey Tuesday and arrived at the LZ early. Andy & Emily asked if I wanted to go to Crestline. I thought it was the place to be and jumped on. Tony DeLeo and Bruce Barmakian were setting up when we got there, planning to go over the back towards the Owens valley. They did...

Cotes Cliffs
Planning a trip in February down Baja to Cotes Cliffs, also called Colonet. Three other pilots from Elsinore and Crestline are on-board but the more the merrier. My wife and I will continue on down after the weekend to Scammon's and perhaps San Ignacio lagoons to see the gray whales and explore for ...

glider savers
I recommend Steve Wendt's glider savers for a single glider tie-down. Used them for years.

I videoed (is that a word?) a few Saturday. Quite the view, too.

Walt
I don't have any great stories about Walt, I just love the guy and I've been afraid this was coming. Maybe a month ago several of us were sitting around in the LZ joking, laughing as it began to get dark. And he was doing a lot of the joking, talking about doing carrier landings and as cheerful as e...

Landing bailout
If you launch the E and don't get up at the cone, where are you landing? ...or are you going to cross that bridge when you come to it. I barely make the old LZ if I sink below the cone.

T-shirts, etc.
After the Dahlsten Cup the T shirts were coming out for sale and I saw the same 2 small Sylmar shirts with the Harry Martin cartoon design left for sale that have been around for a couple of years now. Nobody seemed to know how to order more so I volunteered to find Harry and see what's up. Well, no...

Owens report
So how was it? I'm sure the accident at Sylmar took the fun out of it, but how was the flying?
Hurricane
If you are planning on the Hurricane trip and want to make a more leisurely return, I thought I would pass this on. I just made a reservation here http://hotels.travelzoo.com/las-vegas-hotels/405091 to stay in Las Vegas Sunday night, the 6th of July (and the next night too.) Spending a night in Las ...

Yosemite
I just thought I would suggest to the monitors like Barton and Will, etc. that we plan a trip to Yosemite a little earlier this year, like before the river gets dry. It's great to be there when the waterfalls are full. I know the story about the meadow being marshy, but others seem to fly there a lo...

Re: I just had an idea...
On to more positive pursuits. ... Would it be possible for the instructors bringing new pilots to the LZ to precede their arrival with a photo-post on the Forum? Kind of an introduction, a "coming out" notice. Maybe a little bio-info, too, if they don't mind. I like the idea of the pictur...

i did get a provisional spot on the E team, though... and the "J" and the "C" (i swear!) carved into my forehead by the barbed wire fence (that i can't remember hitting) are, according to my plastic surgeon (who only recently finished the last round of repairs), not likely to sc...

Forum name
Don't you think the name of this forum, Amazing flights is too much? No wonder nobody posts anything here unless it's record of some kind. Why not Flight Discussion or Flight Reports or something less intimidating like that? There was nothing amazing about my flight but people asked me to write it u...
