Hi. I'm a P2, new to the area, from California, and wondering if anyone is thinking about trying to fly during the week this week. I recently joined CHGPA and looking to meet some other pilots to fly with. I have a very flexibile schedule and hoping to meet some folks who want to fly during the week. I'm thinking Pulpit if the weather cooperates but I'm open to anywhere if I can find an observer to fly with.
Thanks,
Kyle

Hi Kyle,
Welcome to the club!!
I am keeping an eye on the weather at the Pulpit for Tuesday....looks like it might be okay right now. I am not an observer.
Hope to see you out flying,
Jon

Hi, welcome Kyle,
for you and any other P2s: I am an observer, but only fly on weekends.
I signed up as observer in order to give P2s an opportunity to get airtime, so I welcome your call!
In the past I have called P2s to encourage them to come out when I fly, but after too many "life is interfering with my desire to fly" replies, I have learned to not push and let you all get in contact with me (or other observers) at your own leisure.
That said, I welcome any calls and love to talk flying, so please do NOT be shy about calling me!
Send my an email to e-46-kim-@-ya-hoo--.--com (remove all slashes) and I'll send you my cellphone number.
If I cannot fly on a particular weekend day, I try to stay in touch and find out if other observers are going out and are willing to observe (If you are willing to drive XC retrieve for observers, I bet you will always find one to observe you at the beginning or end of the day
We have some very experienced observers in our club, some of whom have done very well in international competitions(not me), so you might also benefit from carpooling for a good brain-picking opportunity
Regards and I hope to hear from you soon!
-- ellis (PG and HG observer, but while I will observe any P2, I will only observe solid H2s with recommendations from other HG observers)
p.s. this also goes for visiting pilots

I'm a PG Observer heading to Pulpit on Tuesday. The main crew of PGs are going to Woodstock.
