Sorry that I seem to have mixed you up with Sean Franke.

Me thinks this thread has lost the plot, and likely the interest of some who would have otherwise helped out.

I am not a member of the US Soaring Team. I was invited to consider serving as a Team Captain, but had to turn it down as I could not take 4 weeks off this summer.



Honestly that is just plain scary. Your absolute disregard and disrespect of almost everyone involved in racing makes you absolutely unsuitable for such a role. I really hope someone from the USTC will respond to this and let us know that you delusional and no such offer was made.

Thanks Kevin! The last thing we need is someone like this self-declared bird watcher (but only for 'majestic' raptors) in a position of responsibility and leadership in anything related to soaring.

Kevin and Herb,

You are both complete and utter idiots. Talk about ego's. Good luck with them.

Sean

Do you really think that Kevin Christner is this crazy? Perhaps you're right.

Hey, goto-Guy! I was shocked to find myself somewhat agreeing with you but,
then it occurred to me: I, too, would rather look at a girlie calendar than
a picture of Whoopie Goldberg.

Ban all glass windows! They are a liberal plot to rob you of your
freedom to to be cold and windblown whenever you feel like it.

See, the other day I was sitting in a service station minding my own
business while my oil was being changed. It was a nice day and sun was
streaming into the large floor to ceiling windows of this arch
conservative establishment. As a liberal I was trying to keep a low
profile and get back to friendly territory (a used bookstore or
something) unharmed. I think I was covertly admiring the girly calender
on the wall when I was distracted by a very loud thud coming from behind
me. I turned around and noticed a large black bird, crumpled on the the
sidewalk, feathers in disarray, slightly twitching. At a height of about
1 meter above the sidewalk, roughly behind where my head had been, there
was a faint, bloody smudge on the glass. Funny thing is that there was
one of those bird silhouette stickers stuck to the glass window about 2
meters away. I guess the bird missed the pre flight briefing on what
these stickers mean.

I can only guess that this bird was on a suicide, kamikaze mission to
take out the liberal zealot who had been recently out'ed as someone in
favor of wind turbines. In his zeal to reach the target the bird failed
to notice the thick plate glass blocking his trajectory. May he RIP.

Not a word about bird impacts or safety concerns in here. Might be a good place to start engaging them.

Interesting read.
Note B5 with respect to slope in area of installation. This might well preclude installation at ridge top.
FWIW
