all the data you can from near Hutchinson, Kansas on May 2, 2004,
between about 1:30 PM CDST...

Soaring's decline SSA club poll by
Craig Freeman
In the result's from the SSA club poll fourty seven percent of
responding club's said they did not want large numbers of new
members. Maybe the word "large" caused clubs who would want some
new members to answer in the negative. Maybe this indicates that
there is no more room in half of the...

Last season for BLIPS? by
Stewart Kissel
I was reviewing the Dr Jack site and his subscription
message, he sounds as if the workload means this may
be the final season. He sent out the message for those
like me who have become quite dependant on them to
beware. Let's take advantage of them while they still
exist.

Wanted Sparrowhawk by
David Bingham
I am looking for a Sparrowhawk new/used with or without a trailer.
Immediate cash. I am often asked why do I want one when I have a
DG800B, a Stemme S10-VT and several paragliders. I think the

First Estonian gliding casuality in 17 years by
iPilot
In May 1-th - the day we got in to the EU - a Blanik broke in the middle of the flight. Possible
reason - overspeed on spin exit. Possible cause for overspeed - not known yet. Pilot exited, but too
low and parachute had no time for opening. Sad story with sad ending. We have one glider pilot...
