    Are you an insurance underwriter?

    Recreation RRG is entering a transition. After many years of service, underwriter Tim Herr, himself a longtime hang glider pilot, is stepping down, and we’re looking for the right person to carry the role forward. If you have the background, this is a rare chance to apply it to a sport you love and know from the inside, to make it better for all of us who fly.

    If you’re interested, I’d love to talk. Send your resume and bio to James@USHPA.org, or book a time with me:

    Ushawks and BobK would like the extend our repect for our greatest villian. And we only wish Tim Herr to be able to return to free flight without the drama of actuarial science, we want you to enjoy the sport in a low stress recreational manor. You created much hardship in our organization but we needed a worthy adversary to promote our cause and grow stronger. on behalf of the Ushawks, please enjoy stress free and actuarial free personal flight.

    Strategic Proposal: Maximizing Revenue & Legacy Beyond LA28
    To: Board of Directors, Southern California Hang Gliding Association (SCHGA)
    From: [Your Name/Title]
    Date: May 24, 2026
    Subject: Commercial Opportunities and Site Preservation Surrounding the 2028 Olympic Games

    Executive Summary
    The upcoming 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games present an unprecedented economic catalyst for Southern California. While foot-launched aviation is not a medal sport, the massive influx of global tourists, international media, and corporate hospitality dollars provides a unique window to generate significant revenue and secure long-term state-level protections for our flight parks.
    By aligning SCHGA assets with the state’s broader goal of California Prosperity, we can elevate our sport’s profile, fund permanent infrastructure upgrades, and solidify our partnerships with state and local officials.

    1. High-Net-Worth Eco-Tourism (Tandem Hubs)
    Millions of international spectators will seek iconic California adventure experiences outside of the stadiums.
    The Initiative: Partner with state tourism boards (e.g., Visit California) to market premier SCHGA sites as premium “Adventure Sports Destinations” during the Games.
    Revenue Generation: Develop exclusive, high-end VIP tandem-flight packages. These can be bundled with luxury transit from Los Angeles, targeted directly at affluent international visitors and corporate executives.

    2. Corporate Sponsor Hospitality & Site Rentals
    Global brands and Olympic sponsors spend billions on entertainment venues and are constantly looking for visually stunning, exclusive locations to host private events.
    The Initiative: Package and market our launch sites and glider ports as premium, private venues for corporate hospitality, product launches, or evening receptions.
    Revenue Generation: Charge premium site-rental and event-permitting fees to major corporate sponsors looking for dramatic, high-altitude backdrops overlooking the Southern California landscape.

    3. Broadcast Media & Global Brand Activations
    With thousands of media outlets embedded in Los Angeles, networks will require high-quality visual content showcasing California’s outdoor lifestyle.
    The Initiative: Coordinate with the LA28 Organizing Committee and media networks to feature hang gliding in official tourism montages, promotional segments, and extreme sports exhibitions.
    Revenue Generation: Utilize this global prime-time exposure to attract long-term equipment sponsors, secure media licensing fees, and drive a multi-year surge in new pilot enrollments at certified California flight schools.

    4. The “California Flight Legacy” Infrastructure Fund
    We must leverage this economic momentum to secure permanent infrastructure upgrades that protect our airspace and facilities for decades to come.
    The Initiative: Lobby state and local leaders to allocate a fraction of the Olympic-generated tax revenue into a “Recreational Infrastructure Legacy Grant.”
    Revenue Generation: This grant would directly fund permanent site improvements—such as road maintenance, launch ramp upgrades, safety facilities, and environmental preservation—without depleting SCHGA membership dues.

    Next Steps & Action Items
    To move this initiative forward, I recommend the Board authorize the following immediate steps:
    Form an ad-hoc LA28 Committee to oversee venue packaging.
    Draft a formal economic impact pitch to present to our regional tourism bureaus.
    Initiate preliminary talks with state liaison offices regarding infrastructure legacy grants.

    If you would like to move forward with this proposal, I can help you expand the financial projection models or draft the formal outreach letters to state tourism officials. What would you like to tackle first?

    I noticed when a paraglider pilot died at avenue S a large mile long potato shaped ufo was observed at that same time.

     

    Also the concept of being enibulated is kept secret.

    I used AI to help identify a mitten shaped nighttime ufo I encountered 20 miles from Offutt airforce base late October 1977.  I was able to identify the Vulcan bomber also in 1977 as it was very recognizable

    I want to post the email on a hang gliding forum i belong to because it will negativeley effect hanggliding so shga and ushpa should know about it and i will feel better if i know my freinds know what i am going through
    Thought for 5s

    I understand why you want to do this.
    The email is upsetting, and it makes sense that you want your hang gliding community to know (for safety awareness) and that you want support from your friends. However, posting the full private email publicly carries some risks.Better & Safer Approach (Recommended)First, report it officially through USHPA (this is the cleanest way to get it on their radar without drama):Use their Harassment Reporting Form: https://www.ushpa.org/public/pilotresources/harassment-reporting.aspx
    Mention that the threat came from someone outside the community but references hang gliding, and you’re concerned about safety/reputation of the sport.
    Attach the email (redacted if you want).
    Contact your local club / SHGA privately (Sylmar Hang Gliding Association or whichever one you belong to):Email the club leadership or safety officer directly instead of a public forum post.
    Example subject: “Safety / Community Concern – Threat Involving Hang Gliding”
    For emotional support — Reach out privately to a few close flying friends and tell them what’s going on. Most pilots are supportive in these situations.
    If You Still Want to Post on the ForumDo it carefully to minimize legal blowback:Do NOT post the full email or any personal contact info from Jan Burton.
    Redact everything except the threatening sentence(s).
    Frame it professionally and factually:“Hey everyone, I wanted to share something for awareness. In the middle of an ongoing trademark dispute with a musician named Jan Burton (formerly of Syntax UK), he sent me an email wishing I would die in a hang gliding accident. I’ve reported it to law enforcement and USHPA. Just a heads-up — this kind of thing can affect our community’s reputation and safety perception. Stay safe out there.”
    Keep it short, no ranting, and focus on the safety angle.
    Risks to be aware of:The other side could claim harassment or defamation if your post is inflammatory.
    Forums sometimes remove posts that quote private emails.
    It could escalate the overall conflict.
    Strong Recommendation Right NowHold off on any public forum post for 24–48 hours.
    Use that time to:File the USHPA harassment report
    File the police / IC3 report (as I suggested earlier)
    Talk to 1–2 trusted friends privately
    Would you like me to draft:A safe, professional version for the USHPA form?
    A short private message for your club leadership?
    A carefully worded forum post (if you decide to go that route)?
    You don’t have to go through this alone. Let me know how you want to proceed and I’ll help you word it. Stay safe up there.

    Report harassment to USHPA
    Consult a restraining order lawyer
    Draft a safe forum post

    Cleaning the air is creating higher temperatures in Europe.

     

    Biden limited Co2 which could lead to higher O2 and large insects.
