Watch and listen to this pilot on the ramp: https://youtu.be/sG6R5fG5Tzs

"Lift and Tug Before You get Off!" At the beginning of our launch run lift the glider until we clearly feel our leg loops pulling up against the inside of our thighs. This confirms whether or not there is a connection going from our legs to our glider. I have had many acquaintances who did...

Take two of these and you'll feel better by the morning.

Philldor and I discussed implementation of the new landing pattern radio etiquette as we climbed out this afternoon and then we put it to the test a few minutes later (because it was an overcast day). Since our conversation was rather bland I replaced it with some trip hop music from Glen Porter. Bu...

We could you a whole army of invaders like you as we become ever more insular and inbred by the day without a little of the all-too infrequent outside intervention. If you're ever this far down the state be sure to come visit.

Posted on Facebook a few hours ago... Four months to the day after Ron's accident, we are heading home. Ron knows where he is going, and is optimistic about the long road ahead. He walked through Newark Liberty and boarded the flight on his own power. As of tonight, Ron will be living at home, and d...

An acquaintance of mine in the Bay Area has a very low hour U2 160 for sail with a custom Dacron and Hydranet sail. $3,000 sounds like a great price on this glider: https://youtu.be/XOedEO50rxY

Please contact me directly for more information.

Thanks, Jonathan

Posted earlier today by Ron's brother Tal: Week 12: Ron Keinan has been at MossRehab for four weeks, and his progress has been remarkable. He is now speaking in full sentences, coherently, in English and in Hebrew. His memory is patchy, but notably more consistent and more contiguous from week to we...

Thanks for the report Jeff. I was hoping to sneak in a few words direct with my matzoh bro the last time I tried calling his room but got the HIPPA treatment from the nurse. I'm glad to hear his voice second hand through your keyboard.

Lots of stuff I never knew. A very interesting read....

I've seen people use silicone spray to lubricate their zippers on their harnesses and their VG systems... poking around on hanggliding.org, people seem to like sailkote better because it's a dry lubricant and won't stain the sailcloth. Has anyone had any experiences using it, good or bad? I'd love ...

Posted by Tal on Facebook this morning: Week Eight: Thanks, as always, for everyone's continued support. There has been progress on our end. Ron Keinan was transferred to the Moss Rehabilitation Center, in Philadelphia, on Friday. His progress, in the last week, has been very encouraging. He is exhi...

Follow-up. Ron's brother Tal indicated that Ron will be in Philly on Friday. I don't know whether Ron will be available to visit tomorrow.

I visited Ron this afternoon which was my first since his accident. Hungary Joe and Cynthia were there when I arrived. The more we all talked about things that would interest Ron such as hiking up Runyon Canyon Trail, swimming with his kids and negotiating real estate deals, the more animated he bec...

All I see is a write up on Pete Michelmore, who is not running. Anybody have any info or thoughts on Dan DeWeese versus Chris Grantham? Should we all write-in Ken?:)? Thanks, Chad Ken's already an RD. I voted for Dan DeWeese because he is impartial and does not have a potential conflict of interest...

I have a high-flying Falcon 3 195 located at Sylmar. The glider is in very good condition and flies excellently. $SOLD picked up locally. Give me a shout so we can make this your glider.

Ron was pretty attached to his glider. Hopefully his connection to it had a healing effect yesterday. No harm in being a little bit superstitious in a positive way.
