Default Minden - help!

I don't see the issue. if there was a fee attached, I could see a problem,
but why don't you just
take the test and move on..... If I compare the burden of having to take a
driving test
to the payoff of getting to fly at a site that has thermals that suck
trailers off the ground
and waves you can see the curvature of the earth from.... Its a no brainer
to me......
Please remember that some of us call 400 ft/min outstanding soaring......

Have a great day

Scott

I must be misreading this. They are going to allow a 3 day one time
waiver and then next time you must take a test to prove you know what
your doing? What about the first time?


Heh, I used to work as a contractor at a US Naval installation. My
coworker had over 30 years experience riding a motorcycle on several
US bases and they wouldn't give him a gate access sticker until he
took a weekend motorcycle safety class. Since the next class was in 2
months, they gave him a temporary pass, just as they would the 19 year
old who just bought a first bike. Go figure.
