Being an observer is not a rating but an appointment. If you go to https://www.ushpa.org/legacy/observe.asp you will find that there are numerous observers that are current in Region 9.

TR was a great guy and will certainly be missed.

If it was a cumulus cloud that drifted into launch it could very well be the thermal associated with that cloud. It is not uncommon to have drifting sources that continue to have lift for miles. We very often watch thermals drift into launch from as far as a mile away at Templeton and then time our ...

Thanks for starting and continuing this thread Jim.I have flown at places where they insisted on the glider turning right upon release. However I do agree with you. I have found that the reduction of drag on the tug when the glider pilot releases causes a surge in speed for the tug that causes it to...

This is some great stuff Jim. I would like to emphasize something and add something. I agree with Jim about the importance of managing the tow line tension. I believe that it may be the most important thing. It takes a lot less tension than we think and this can be seen most readily while towing in ...

John, my thoughts are with you and wishing you a speedy recovery.

I basically agree with Mark's assessment of conditions.I followed him and Kurt off and found conditions low on the ridge as Mark described them. As I was climbing above the crest I noticed a cloud street to the south that looked pretty good so I proceeded that way working bits and pieces of lift. On...

Great flight Larry. Looked challenging and fun.

Nice flight Tom. I've landed in the next field on a flight from Templeton. I friend of mine used to live there.

In addition to "radiational cooling" the absence of wind will also let the atmosphere cool faster. Wind at night mixes the air and slows cooling.

Regardless of the cause of your accident I want to wish you a full and speedy recovery.

Wishing you a complete and speedy recovery Hugh.

Cragin,

I'm sorry to hear that you had to have surgery and that you will be laid up for a while. On the other side it is good to hear that all went smoothly and you are on the road to recovery. I hope it goes quickly and you are back in the air soon.
