Sessa's pic in the August USHPA mag

[jyoder111]

I was flipping through the August issue of the USHPA mag and noticed a photo on page 60 that looked oddly familiar. I realized it was a pic of David Bodner launching from the Pulpit at the Fly-in this year.

That pilot launching in the picture is Greg Sessa and the picture was taken by his father Mel at the Pulpit in October of 2009. Bacil

At first I thought it was, too. But, it isn't. So disappointing.

Like mine, it's a Falcon with a blue undersurface. But I think it looks like a Falcon 3 to me (transverse batten, nosecone). I fly a Falcon 2.

There's a large green streamer (perhaps saying "hook in?") on the nosewire. Mine has a tuft of yarn.

3. The leading edge appears to be burgundy; mine's white.

4. My Falcon has the really big wheels.

5. The picture is in the August 2010 magazine. The fly-in was the weekend of September 18-19, 2010. Unless Superman flew around the world against the rotation to turn back the clock , a picture of Dave from 9/18/10 will not appear in a magazine dated a month earlier . Bacil

hah, oops. Well at least it is a picture of one of us.

Unless Superman flew around the world backwards to turn back the clock

What kind of glider does Superman fly?

"What kind of glider does Superman fly?"

If he's going backwards, must be one that does not penetrate too well.
