Is Gliding and Motorgliding International now dead?

I have had a bad feeling about SSA's committment to "picking up the ball" and
running with it to keep this excellent site alive. In fact I contacted SSA (and
copied several SSA Directors) to ask if SSA is committed to doing just that .
So far I did not receive a direct reply from the Executive Director - and I do
not sense any real appreciation from SSA of how good and well supported this
magazine has been to members .Surely an SSA Director or two must realise this
has been the best site in the world for good daily updates on happenings in the
Soaring world. Perhaps some more SSA members who feel strongly about this
potential loss could send messages to their Directors to try and prevent the
slow death of this great magazine.

I've really enjoyed this website. I truly hope SSA doesn't screw it up.

The SSA Board met in Denver yesterday in advance of the Barnaby Lecture. I
asked a director if an editor had been selected and the answer was yes.

The best interest of "Gliding and Motorgliding International" was that
it was "international"... what if it is now ruled by SSA ?

Q. Pourquoi ne faut-il pas répondre au-dessus de la question ?

He was in error and I was mis-informed. After reading the 'Missile' today,
I'm perturbed.

What's the "Missile"?

Dennis Wright's weekly tome. Thankfully it's a move toward openness WRT to
the workings of the SSA, the Hobbs office, Dennis' activities, projects in
motion, and hurdles faced. I consider it a patch until the eNewsletter is
ramped up. You might write the SSA office if you'd like to be included in
the distribution. I think Dennis hopes that it's redistributed among SSA
members. The 'Missile' is not milk and honey, but honest content.
