the chgpa 100 club

Post by pink_albatross »

Anybody who is still looking for a New year's resolution, here's one not to be missed:
Join the CHGPA 100 club!
100 flights for 2010!

So far, Carlos is leading the pack with his new year's day flight. :-)

Rules? We don't need no stinkin rules!
Well.. maybe... Flight has to be 5 minutes minimum (this is to avoid training hill flights, unless you get really lucky)
It also may not end in the trees :-P or in bodily injury (totaling your wing is okay though)
You may combine HG and PG flights into your total.
Considering that HG don't have monopoly on towing, tow flights count. The 5 minute minimum still applies, not counting time on tow (no towing up to 300 feet 30 times a day).

Questions: for a level playing field: should outside chgpa area flights be counted? Should weekday flights be counted?

We can use this thread to keep track of stats.
Happy flying!

I vote for count them all. 100 non-training hill flights a year is a big accomplishment by anyone who lives in this part of the world.

Is anyone else tired of the cold and ready to take a trip to Mexico or South America?

Hiw about the 100 hour club instead? If you fly 100 times you certainly should come close!
