Bruno, Just had to email you! I have been looking at the movies on your site and wow, they are fantastic, I'm very impressed and very very envious of the countryside, weather and your flying experiences :-) I am a low time solo pilot in the UK, I fly in Kent (SE of London near my home).

SSA members, visit the SSA site, log in, click on "eNewsletter" and have a look at the Feb 22 issue of the eNewsletter, which contains photos of the Convention. The recent gap in weekly publication was due to staff being in Ontario, and the eNewsletter will now be published weekly again. Jim...

sorry, just a test

From the youth presentation, keep in mind that our junior pilots would like to be known as PILOTS, rather than 'the kids'. Kevin Christner is an instructor after all... Thanks to Kevin...and Sylvia... for presenting... ... uh, we all start as kids (Mark Keene spoke of gliderport visits at...

Does anyone know: 1. where to get chart numbers? 2. Where to order, preferably on line? Chip Fitzpatrick

"Shawn" wrote in message ... Yesterday, Feb. 13th, at 6:01 am, the pilot of a Boeing 757 west of Denver made a PIREP with the following comment, " we went from idle thrust to FULL Power to maintain altitude due to Strong Mountain wave". Still...

I was doing a little magic at this years SSA convention: http://www.seeyou.ws/ssaconvention2005.php I saw Dr. Paul McCready there and knew he would be interested in this so I floated my card around me a little. He loved it and took some notes but while I was floating my card, a bystander took...

Dear All, I am refinishing my PIK20D (in-out) and I have realized that the nose vent. mechanism. does not working. (I have recently bought this PIK, never flown with it). The problem is that the small circular plate which is adjustable by the push-pull button and open-close the air flow, is...

The local parachute packer doesn't want to repack my chute. He will in fact do so but isn't happy about it. My chute is about 2-3 years old. It was included when I bought the glider. The objection is that the chute is a Strong. He says he has to pack it "upside down". Apparently it's a pain in the...

It appears that I may be transferred to Amarillo from Houston about September or October. I'm wondering about the soaring group there. I know someone in the area and he said the soaring club had ceased to exist. He also said the group was trying to get a winch going in order to reform the club....

Have You seen the "Aviator" movie? In the Poznan (Posen) movie theatre there was an additional attraction for the pilot's eye - an Jantar 2b hanging just under the roof. Take a look at the pics: http://www.aeroklub.poznan.pl/klub/wydarzenia/2005/kinepolis05/kinepolis05.h tml And, moving to the...

A friend of mine without internet is trying to locate a soaring pilot named Carl Uveges. At one time he owned a Cherokee II, possibly near Philadelphia. If anyone knows what happened to Carl or his whereabouts, please send me an email. My friend is having a hassle with the FAA, trying to...

Have any US readers viewed this DVD? Give us a report on it.

I have only flown as a passenger once in a sailplane, and thus, will ask the obvious question. Is water blast used in temperatures where it is likely to freeze? If so, what is done to prevent this? Thanks ...john
