Greetings fellow Region Niners -- I posted this note on the 2009 PG Comps to the PG forum.

Let me know if a...

The competition committee ended at 7:30pm after going about 4 hours. It all came down to a pivotal decision by Mike Healy. I made a motion to have only one paragliding nationals. If that motion passed it would have awarded the paragliding national to Dunlap. Dunlap is really cool. They recently made...

POTM - has a security camera on the site at all times. Is there any potential for installing one at the Pulpit?

LE Herrick

Excellent

I did not know about the Canadian National Park proposal. Do you have any more information about it? I may take it to the site committee at next weeksUSHPA board of directors meeting.

Thanks

Marc- That was because I sent in your posting of the incident from the List server. I described you as a very experienced pilot who shall remain anonymous. I sent the exact posting without changes. USHPA incident descriptions in the magazine are "generalized". They do this to keep the focu...

So sad and tragic. My heart gooes out to the family and friends. On the same day, Jeff Craig died while landing his hang glider at Sylmar, California. I understand he hit arock.

This is great to hear from so many on this question. As a former federal bureaucrat, I have attended many public meetings from the other side. What is important is to understand why the forest service is holding a public meeting. They hold a public meting because they are required by law to do so to...

Our son made the kit for us when he deployed to Iraq as a Army Combat Medic. I Ben and I modified the kit somewhat to augment the blood loss trauma treatment ...
