Re: Updated Roster

Paid my renewal dues on Mar 19th. I also just filled out the Google form. I missed that process until I contacted Krista after seeing I was not on the Good Standing list.

Re: Hogback Violations!

I agree with Joe. I've been flying all 3 of the Skyline sites since the early 90's with a few other HG pilots. I would hate to see us loose any of these sites. I will hold my thoughts until we find out what really may have happened.

Danny Brotto offered to take me up in a 2 place (2 seat sailplane). I got there early as Danny had hoped for a wave flight. Conditions were not the best but...

A spectacular day at Garys' Beach! Thanks for calling us out Gary. I got there and helped launch Gary, Calvin and Felix. Steve had flown already and helped Felix and me off. For the first hour it was great flying the usual 300' -500' over with your standard eagles and ospreys. Then Felix and I went ...

Re: Incident at Bill's Hill

Hey Karen, Hope you're doing okay by now. I once helped another PG guy out of one of the tallest trees I've ever gotten anyone out of at Bills'. The first branch was over 80' up, so I know there are some real tall trees there. I've been in the trees myself enough to know it's not fun but on the othe...

Re: Edith Gap Update

Great work Dan, Jim and others. It's a great place to fly when conditions are good. We use to have to spend an hour or more cleaning the sight before flying. It will be cool to reclaim and maintain this site. I think this should be a priority to get this sight flyable. Again great work and excellent...

Thanks Jon and for the guys who removed and rolled up the carpets.

John is a top notch instuctor and consistantly there on the training hill.

He helped me afford the sport when I was starting out.

Thanks John for all you've done and continue to do for us, the sport and for being a good friend.

Re: Edith Gap project has been approved

Great work Jim and Dan.

It is a great site for those times when when we have Easterly winds with no rain. It is however not the easiest for a HG as it's a long way out to an LZ. So it's get up or go land. :mrgreen:

Thanks again guys. Let us know when we can start the launch clean up.

Re: Carpets at Woodstock Launch

I don't usually comment on this kind of stuff. I feel strongly enough on this however to write. The carpets are an eyesore visable from a long way off. They are making the area look like a trash dump. The PG folks should take the responsibility to roll them up at the end of the day at any site where...
