Default skyrides are at it again?

I'll continue this conversation with myself :-)

I thought I recognized that photo. Its a BASA (Bay Area Soaring Associates) glider. The image is likely stolen from here http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/001070.html I've let Jeremy know.

BTW it is kind of ironic they stole a photo of a BASA glider since BASA works with Hollister Soaring for tows in the SF Bay Area and that Drew Pearce the previous owner of Hollister Soaring had major issues with people turning up tryign to redeem these scam coupons for Glider Rides. Drew had put together material online and information he sent out to other glider FBOs etc.. (and I expect but am not sure that this also went to the SSA as well). I can't find that now but some of Drew's comments from those experiences are at http://www.complaintsboard.com/compl...am-c14757.html

And Drew Pearce's web site was on the page I linked to before and missed it.. Its at http://www.glidersailplanerides.com/ This site was set up by Drew as a glider ride operator (and SSA business partner) out of frustration from dealing with scams from these folks.

I'll get in touch with Drew so he can add the latest scam web site (and proud SSA business partner) to his list.

Well those Skyride scumbags are likely reading this thread. One little mention here and that stolen photo of a BASA Pegasus in the top left hand corner has turned into a...LS? http://www.1800skyride.com/sports/ad...ides/index.php

Now for all the other stolen images they use...
