Sylmar Hang Gliding Association

Jonathan;
As a club member, I appreciate what I think you were trying to say in your post. That is, "I broke a club rule, and I don't plan on letting it happen again!" Thank you; enough said.

Thanks to all you guys and girls for taking care of a very important club responsibility. The political good will that we get from this and other similar pilot contributions is immense.

I've met Michael and Sara a couple of times and I'm thrilled to have been able to offer a little assistance. They are really nice people and neighbors, so I hope SHGA members will treat them very well. They've been encouraged to do a piece on the club and I have every confidence that it's going to b...

Where would you like to go, when, and, oh by the way, who are you?
JOe

Lots of guys that want to go can't make it this Saturday so we'll make it the following Saturday the 7th of March.

Rob,
You arrived on the scene in the nick of time. I was ready to turn Rome loose in the l/z with one of these.........

I'm running a lesson trip to Garlock next Saturday that's open to H2's with 10 hrs. or more. Those that are more advanced and and/or have flown there before are welcome to join the party. I'm hoping Richard Shaw, Don Banas, Malury, Eric Brown, Frederick Wagner, Max, and lots more will decide to come...

Joe;
I don't recall ever seeing the 60 Minutes piece on tv. I'd love to see it, so I'll join you in putting out a call to pilots to see if they can find it somewhere.

We need pilots to come out at 9 am Saturday before flying and help with the following..... Groom the new wash LZ (move rocks, smooth area w/ rakes, pull weeds) Weed eat around the regular LZ and Parking Lot Wheel barrows or small trailer, steel rakes, weed eaters, gloves are needed. We'd also like t...

My 35 years of studying hang gliding and paragliding accidents suggests that participants of both hang gliding and paragliding are part of a vast "right wing" conspiracy. One that tries to convince (con) it's members into believing that our sports are safe; and that those pilots that get h...

If you feel so inclined, go right ahead.

Just in from the Sheriff Detective. They have identified the victim as a person missing from the Torrance area. No further investigations are planned.

The plans are in the hands of the Structural Engineer right now. Once he's gone through them, he'll give them back to Hiro, our architect. Hiro will then draw up the construction plans. With construction plans, we will be able develop a more accurate time table. Our consultant is ready to submit the...

Sheriff Detective's suggested that in the future, they may helicopter in a search party to do a grid search on the area around where they found the body. They would like to find the shoes and shirt of the victim and anything else they can find. If you see the helicopter coming in, you'll want to mov...

I've just spoken again with the detective and he's confident that the deceased was not a victim of foul play. They just want to find out who he is so they can notify his family.

Joe

I've spoken again with the homicide detective and he's forwarded me a composite sketch of the victim and is asking our help distributing it in the community.
Ken Andrews will be making it available on the website very soon. We'll also have copies of it out at Kagel.

Joe

Oops! This is for the 39th State Assembly District which is basically Sylmar, Lakeview Terrace, Pacoima, San Fernando, Arlets, Sun Valley. Thanks for being willing to drive up and vote, but for you it won't be necessary.

Joe

Relatively new Hang 1 pilot Nick Krall has been the chairman of the Sylmar Neighborhood Council's Land Use Committee, Sylmar Chamber of Commerce President, and works for our own local City Councilman. Nick was instrumental in helping us move forward with our Gazebo permits and has supported us in ou...

I just received a phone message from Hardy and I have his phone number if someone wants to email me for it.

Joe

Anyone living near Sylmar want to rent a room to a student pilot that would like to come up from Costa Rica to take lessons at Windsports? He speaks english very well.
Please respond or let me know.

Cheers!
