Sylmar flying ‘76
I’ve been scanning some old family slides and came across Joe Greblo doing a tandem while hanging out with our teenage friends Parker and Tyler MacCready flying their Cumulus 5Bs. I was reminded that we didn’t use reserves back then!

Icaro2000 gliders etc
I became a dealer for Icaro2000 this year! If you need anything from them like spares, a helmet, WV harness or a glider, please let me know. It saves a lot on shipping costs if I can group things and I already have a shipment of 2 gliders coming this May with room for more. Smaller items are easier ...

Re: Near midair-collision over Kagel ridge on Sunday 12/19/2021
Wow!! :o Usually people exaggerate that things are closer than they really are, but judging by that screenshot with that lens and how much of the bottom surface you see on glider B before it passes under A, I’d guess it was a lot closer than 30-50’ ! Glad it it was just close! I’m a big fan of white...

HE sports Quantum Series 330 parachute
A friend is selling his reserve with a HE harness for a 5’10” 150lb pilot thrown in. You would have to pay for shipping, so you may not want the harness in order to keep costs down. His stuff is always in good condition. The UV coating on the deployment bag is wearing off a bit on one side but other...

Re: PG fatality at Crestline
Here is the accident report that I believe to be well done and helpful.

It is worth reading and hopefully it can help others prevent another tragedy like it. Lua was a fun and free spirit. She leaves behind two kids.

Re: Congratulations Joe Greblo on Rob Kells Memorial Award!!!
Congratulations Joe! I don’t know anyone that has worked harder to keep our sport alive. Not an easy task in our metropolis! I’m forever thankful for your help in getting my two brothers and me safely in the air, starting on that day that you and Rich offered us a chance to try hang gliding on that ...

I don’t know how to attach the film here, but if you have Facebook, you...

O2 system
Does anyone have an O2 system that they don't need/want anymore that I can buy? Otherwise, perhaps rent?
