Hi Roger,

You're close, my wife used to work at the Raven's Nest and I still get
plenty of food. My main problem is I don't excercise enough. Private
ship activity at Mountain Valley Airport seems to be increasing. Also,
hangers are in non-stop construction mode and all of the currently
available hanger plots are reserved. You should stop by and give it
another try.

More info on the parachute:

The Softie website shows 180 and 240 pound weights for the Wedge but
mine has a 220 lb limit. My canopy is a 24'Preserve 1C rated at 220 lbs
and 150 KIAS max speed. The container has the conventional H harness
with B12 snaps at the legs and a thread-through at the chest.

All the best,
Steve

You must be eating at the resturant at the glider port! I used to
fly
at Tehachapi and found it to be a wonderful experience. Lots of nice
people and a beautiful palce to fly. Cool temps, early starts. Last
couple of times I was there I was disappointed that not many private
pilots were frequenting Tehachapi, a sign of the shrinking soaring
population.
