Kev, I agree about subtle nuances but I was taking into consideration that this was not an extreemely experienced pilot (no offense intended Linda). marc, There's many factors that comprise the entire situation. Yes, the final responsibility is the pilot's, always. If a particular pilot had not had ...

Who would sell you a glider and not make sure it was properly set up for you? Having a hang point too far back could be a SERIOUS issue for a less experienced pilot. Was this an out of town purchase? I'm glad you found & fixed the problem.

Dave,

I keep several of these on my keychain for situations just like yours. Its convient and is ALWAYS there.

Mike, might I suggest that you also send this quote to Jayne and your RDs?

THIS IS HOW THE SOUTH EXPRESSES ITS POLITICS!!!! (Presumably written by Pamela Foster) WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS? "Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, most...

Hugh, You can get it at http://www.ushga.org

With halloween coming up, you might try going as a HG pilot, suited up in your harness. Just think, PLENTY of pockets to stuff candy in. And don't forget to take some business cards in trade for the candy you get. Rance PS: And for Kevin(who has so much energy), you could even tote your HG (in its b...

Yeah, I have an opinion. They should NOT be included...

> what if you analyzed just the 'political' threads? Or how about posting along side their ratings, their flying time. On another slant, how about the total volume of text sent. I think Hugh would blow the charts away since he still can't figure out how to not quote everything he replies to. <grin> ...

Jim, I hate to see you go. But wait, I don't see you as it is. I simply enjoy your posts here and marvel at your insight and character. Please do send pictures and tales from time to time. I look forward to spending an hour picking your brain again next year. Keep safe and have a good time. Rance

Scott, you sure are an early-bird.

Just think next week when you with your $400 inst. do as well as those with their $1000 inst. Then you'll be feelin great and none of this will matter at all.

I know its a little late ans possibly a little boring but here's an update to Friday flying. Got there later than I'd like to (given the good conditions), about 2p. I knew Sat/Sun would be overcast so wanted to get in another flight before Tennessee. After watching Scott take two truck tows before m...

Scott,

Again, a Big Congratulations is in order. You worked very hard for it and earned every bit of it. And to be signed off by 'Instructor of the Year' to boot. It was good flying with you yesterday.

Rance

The Rance half of the Tim & Rance team went to Blue Sky. It's so easy to leave here at 11a fly and get home by 6p. Even when you have to stuff 34 battens :lol: . I must be getting lazy. That was only my 2nd time out in almost 3 months. I would have had fun flying with you all. I can still rememb...

Brian, If you know Rance, you know he's nearly incapable of being nasty, though perhaps we all slip at times. Thanks for the kind words but if you only knew how ugly I have been at times. The toung is sharper than a two edged sword and I've done my share of inappropriate slashing. Yes, we do trust o...

Gary,

I could never be a rancerdude, I don't like wearing a cowboy hat. ROTFLOL.

I believe I hear what you are saying and I agree. Thanks for the reminder.

Rance

Joe, > ...you obviously accept the entirely negative stereo type terms for people you call liberals. You make a LOT of assumptions about me (and maybe others) that you have no idea about (see below). And Yes, if you want to talk about groups, I think the 'Liberals' have gone overboard in a lot of ar...

Joe,

Point taken. It is not obvious that I did not come up with this, it was sent to me by a friend. Sorry if you thought I was writing this about you.

Rance

Against my better judgment, I'm posting this here for at least some to enjoy. After reading this again, it becomes painfully clear the similarities between ARTICLE XI and the USHGA Name Change proponents. Don't bother creating something you want, just take someone else's and rip it to shreads and ma...

Something about this sounds kinda like a complicated noose. Wouldn't just a simple rope and a tree work? ROTF LOL. I have NO idea what you are talking about but it sure is entertaining.

Here is a re-post from last year in case some of you are interested in this sort of thing. Someone should probably e-mail the Hawks to maybe have them make a fly-by at one of the flying sites we use. :) Rance ----------------------------------- From: "avnav8r" <johnstokes@h...> Date: Wed S...

Just one more benefit of flying a late '80s glider.

Scott, you're not paranoid, just annoyed.

Glad you guys had fun, wish I could have been there. I'm recovering from some back pain and now I have some ear problems. Next time... Funny thing about parachutes when you inflate them, if a gust comes up and you try to wrestle them, they seem to just get stronger. The thing to do when inflating is...
