There was supposed to be a 'grin' inside carats at
the end of this post. I guess I don't understand the
protocols.

Her name is Ruth Cook. It was filmed at Great Western
Soaring School.
It is a DG505.
Is she an actress, or an faamasterpilot? What is oneofthose,
anyway?

Hi soaring pilots! Ruth is an ordinary (?) commercial
rated glider
pilot, originally from UK and a really nice person..
An faamasterpilot is a pilot that has been recognized
by the FAA to
have 50 years or more
of safe flying and having made contributions to flying
safety.The
candidate must have been recommended by pilots of
repute and have a
spotless record dating back from the CAA days. If
this pilot makes it
to April 1, 2007, it will be 60 years since Jack Kauffman
of Laister-Kauffman (LK10A) was April fooled and issued
my Private
ticket. Some of you know me!


Congratulations, faamasterpilot. That's a long safety
record.

Keep it up.


Jack
