Sylmar Hang Gliding Association

in case you haven't heard, the 515 acres from the area in front of the dam up to and including a good part of the launch are now up for sale as a "development opportunity... great views of the canyon and valley." Anyone have a friend with $9M to donate?

Hey guys? The information you received is for the sediment removal from behind Pacoima Dam. There are several proposals for the method and several proposals for a dump location, if excavation and trucking is the selected method. From the meeting we attended, it appeared to me that their favorite pla...

Doug, less thinking, more flying. That should be your mantra this spring. Keep saying it to yourself, again and again and... Until it comes true.

No one has made it back yet. We've contacted the U.S. Embassy in Tijuana but they don't have any news and can's begin to investigate without permission from the local Federales. The BOD is composing a letter to send to President Obama seeking assistance with this. Stay tuned...

Whether or not Towers is a shorter trip, we all know it's the easier drive... If you have your IV rating or a III + instructor blessing. However, if 5 or 6 pilots show up at Towers, keep in mind that set-up space with easy access to launch is scarce. And, the launch really needs some work. It's been...

I understand everything you're saying and your frustration. That is the only excuse for making everyone in my truck uncomfortable with your outburst. And you do have the order wrong: you began as a result of Kris' little quip. I was privately thankful for her having the temerity to say SOMETHING; I ...

Thanks to L.A. County Fire although I'm sure you've told them how much we appreciate their work. Special thanks to the person(s) who suggested L.A. Co. Fire use their down time to clear the skeletons and rapidly growing brush below the main launch. It looks much safer with a little more wiggle room ...

You're my hero, Opie! You da man! Make sure you take bribe money, though.

I wasn't going to spend my time relaying the entire event, making you out to be, shall we say, excited about Kris' comment. I pretty much shut off the noise in the back to drive. But I think you left out something. You may also recall that I asked Kris to accommodate you by switching seats, which sh...

You've never heard of sand fleas?

Just a suggestion: Anyone who desires a seat with a seat belt to ride to launch should make it clear when they request a ride that they will not accept a seat without restraints before they get in the vehicle. Most of us PROVIDING THE MEANS TO ARRIVE AT LAUNCH are usually very accommodating but tend...

Opie, you're worried about a fugitive charity-fraud mogul when you should
be thinking about reason the place you're visiting should inspire you put
some Advantage in the spot between your shoulders to ward off the locals.
Las Pulgas? Where are you staying, Las Cucarachas Inn?

Squirrel!

But it was fun! When's the last time 5 intrepid (but rather dumb) pilots landed out at Big T, came back in the same truck and partied on return? Too bad about the weekend but Tuesday is looking good.

Who would've thought that your little, white SAK could be found in your harness where you left it? Maybe we should all land out more often and see what else of our missing stuff we might recover. Glad you broke even on the deal. P.S. For those of you snickering, landing out was not meant as a put-do...

Anyone else finding it impossible to edit a post? I didn't find editing impossible but I did notice that deleting a post appears to remove the entire thread for a time. When the deletion is confirmed, an error message is returned. Another user told me that it lasts about four hours before it return...

Opie, do you have the time to ... Can't someone just complain and heckle from the distance without being asked to actually do something about the issue? Opie, a simple, easy to understand answer: NO! PUOSU! And Jonathan: No, but SPAM could grow Clostridium botulinum which creates the protein neurot...

Opie, do you have the time to do this and follow up all the related issues that might be generated? I know Ken and Chip have their own priorities and limited time. If you wish to make a commitment, a request can be made to the BOD to allow you the keys to the castle.

So, does that mean you're going to manually (and automatically) intervene to stop Opie's behavior? Janyce, the PHPBB3 for launch ramp commentators! I like it! When can I expect this upgrade to be installed?

So, I was sitting around, pretty bored after the excitement of seeing Into The Woods today... You all know how dangerous that can be. AND I visited my external drive to dig up photos, some newer, some ancient, that allowed me to restore the Member Photos page and, also, add a lot of you who never ap...
