I have looked at cutter's call nearly everyday since I left for Australia back in September of 2006 and it do not look like there have been more than 10 flyable days at kagel. Wasn't that bad... I flew about 250 Hrs last year alone. Locally and recreationally only, but that's irrelevant. Good flyin...

Heeey, look what I found! Google Earth must have updated Ave S area pics, because when I was marking the launch a while ago, there were no gliders. Yesterday I was surprised to see the new look. Cool! Can you find your glider? (Click to enlarge) http://thumb11.webshots.net/t/59/59/7/89/20/2832789200...

Tuesday (9-th), when we went up, it was down again. On the way up we saw couple of vehicles (Sheriff's and a Ranger) leaving the setup area. Don't know if it had anything to do with the windsock or vandalizm in general on the top we are witnessing recently again. But I was able to put the pole back ...

I just submitted my vote in the poll for repairing the existing gazebo. It doesn’t need “just a little repair� though, but considering the budget, resources and uncertainties of new projects it is more reasonable to fix it up to better serve its function. I came to this conclusion only today, ...

Merry Christmas to all!
Great flights and safe landings!

Calm down, Jim

We are trying to gather videos and digital photos from club members for our Christmas Party evening. If you have anything you don't mind to share with your fellow pilots and friends, please contact me or Freddy. DVD, VHS or digital photos, whatever format. 2006 year. Thanks.

Sunday winds turned W-N/W and switchy in the LZ. Don't know who was filming, but came across it today on YouTube;

Both Sunday and Monday we had rare for this time of the year good conditions. Pilots got 7-8k and flew to Lukens and West Towers and in between. Dave Cutter almost made it to Mt. Wilson (again!).

O.K. folks, my Yosemite Video is in OZ Report Video Library. http://www.ozreportradio.com/video?VrezhYosemite.avi. They named it Vrezh Yosemite :) You'll see 2 links, leading to 10 Meg and 63 Meg versions. The difference of course is quality. I apologize for a dead link at Chip's site; he got hacked...

I installed a switch on my helmet recently, because I couldn't take it any longer than a few minutes.
I forced myself to listen to the whole recording. Gee, it's too sad to be funny. Makes me think we need a radio director in the board...
Thanks, Chip.

Thanks for making it clear, Christian. Your posts are always "right on the money", no complain, I enjoy reading. It's just funny how some times we come across a post and end up getting puzzled, who might that be?...If one is intimidated enough to express his/her opinion on this forum, why ...

Who is SHGA communications?
