Nice Knut!

We replaced the solar panel and Jim Crocker reinstalled it 6/27.

Alan had a hg flight for over 2 hours up to 6200 on Saturday. He is going there today Sunday. One LZ across the road is available and the other that was being hayed might be.

From Felix: The regular LZ was not done (hayed) today, so still out of bounds. We are welcome to land on the field across the street from it. It has haybales at of today, so not sure if thats ok for a HG.

The forecast looks quite good for flying then.

There is ample crop at Smithsburg so assume closed until fall. We got the weather station re-installed at the Pulpit and the setup area and launch area look good. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KPAMCCON24

Jerry Nielsen was a previous chgpa member and hang glider pilot. He passed away yesterday from health complications from cancer and covid. I chose to post on this forum because it is seen more often.

Glad it worked for Bari but we still need to get Bills Hill open again and we only need some names and PA address of a CHGPA members. Please assist.

Please see the listing in Club-Related Affairs!

We have been having difficulty with Buchanan State Forrest renewing our use of Bills Hill. If you live in PA, can you please provide us/CHGPA your name and address info? If you don't want to do it on the forum please feel free to email me at silverwingshg@gmail.com .

Thanks Jeff & Rich for your work in sharing the information about the funeral service to the flying community in such a short time. I think most of us thought the funeral would not be so soon.

It was a special service and I am glad so many pilots attended. The church was full. Attending for CHGPA and the flying community was Marney and I, Rich H & Leeth, Jim Rowan, Ben & LE, Dave Proctor, John Dullahan, Mark Cavanaugh, Bacil, Danny Brotto, John McAllister, Pete Lehman, Anthony, Ch...

Rich, thanks for checking it out for the club.

Looks very northerly for both sites on Sunday!

Mark, that is so cool that you still can enjoy a day at the training hill!

So how about reporting about the flying on Friday!

Wow your pictures sure show the haze from the smoke. Was it bothersome to breathe it?

WS is looking pretty good for HG today. I am out of commission with a sprained ankle from 7/3 or I would go.

Re: Pulpit, anyone know the LZ status for HG?

I am not going but if anyone local to D.C. is going, please contact me. I would like you to take a harness along to a new hg pilot.

The site that use to have radio towers and was planned for housing, no longer has the fence around the field. I kited there 3 times this week.

I guess I should post about my PG launch mishap at WS. Launch conditions appeared fairly good for PG that day though I heard that a number of pilots had some issues in trying to launch earlier and later after my attempt. It was probably around 2pm and the first time I pulled up by wing it turned to ...

Both Walt and Alan soared their HG at WS today. Very cloudy but adequate lift. Also, a lot of PG's flew and soared today.

I am coming to the Pulpit today Monday.
