Did you recognize any particularly "zoomie" names on the "Advisory
Board?"

Those 17 books should be an easy put up or shut up for him. Any chance
one of them was published?

I know of only 2 books, one was about Ultralights and the other was about
saving Bob Hoover. I'd like to see the list. He must be in a cycle again and
thinks he has new people to fool. What a phony.Frankly I don't think much of an
organization that didn't look into the background of it's Advisory Board
members. Maybe they need a phone call.

See ya

I have a copy of this one (but I never asked Zoom for an autograph).

"Flyers Guide to Ultralights", by Jim Campbell
TAB Books Inc, 1985, ISBN 0-8306-2376-0

Of interest to many is this excerpt from the book:

BEGIN QUOTE

There are few people in the ultralight community who can claim to have
done as much for ultralight aviation as has Chuck Slusarczyk. Starting
back in the early days of the hang-gliding movement, Chuck has grown and
developed along with the entire movement. He was one of the first to
adapt and market power systems for hang gliders and helped to usher in a
far more progressive era for this sport by designing and marketing the
first of the "looks like a real airplane" style ultralight air vehicles.
Even more surprising is the fact that he has done this without having
to alienate the rest of an overly competitive industry. His sense of
humor, fairness, and propriety have made him one of this sports more
endearing participants.

Amazon lists 46 books by people named Jim Campbell and 13 by James R.
Campbell. My favorite: "Consumer Fraud and You"

Some more legit possibilities: Flyer's guide to ultralights, Air of
injustice (the Bob Hoover book), Sportplane Resource Guide (in a couple
different versios). But that looks like it.

John;

I was told once that you can tell the quality of a person by the
quality of those he associates with. I am now very suspect of Dr.
Diamandis.

Oh, I don't know. This is probably a match made in heaven for Dr. Diamandis.
He wants uncritical, fawning coverage of his activities, and he gets it with
probably no more than a kind word and a hint that Zoom will get a free ride into
space (eventually). It ain't journalism, but that last thing Dr. Diamandis
probably WANTS is a journalist.

As for the number of books, I can think of about six or seven, depending on how
many editions there were of the Sportplane guide. Then again, maybe he's taking
credit for books like this, too:

Wait, graduate of "the National Test Pilot School"? Thought he just
attended a lecture.

I remember one of his Barnstorming rants from when he was leaving
Sport Pilot to go out on the airshow circuit. How he had plans to write
a book and it was, in his words going to be a Pulitzer winner. Well
there was never an airshow or a Pulitzer. However I do know that into
the 90's his telephone answering machine message was "if you are
calling to book an airshow I am booked through the next year".

A favorite of mine is when zzzzoom was getting ready to publish his
Sportplane Resource Guide. He went on a fishing trip for info from the
Aerocrafters folks. He wanted to find out just how many of the books
they printed. Well needless to say they were up on him and gave him a
number several times what the real print run was. Knowing that he could
always do better than anyone else he added a few thousand to that
inflated number. My best guess is that nearly 10 years later he still
has quite a few left.

Nice quote and accurate. I'll bet it's the last bit of truth he said in
print.

Round trip, or one-way?
(I can hope, can't I?)

Gee John where did I go astray? Sob!!

Boy jaun is in a real dilemma.Since he believes everything zoom says is true
then what zoom said about me must be true. But jaun thinks everything I did
was a lie but if it's a lie then zoom is wrong in saying what he did about me .
Therefore zoom is either a liar about me or telling the truth about me and if
he's lying then he proves himself to be a liar,but if he's telling the truth
about me then jaun is in disagreement with his hero.So if a liar tells the truth
is he lying?or is a Liar lying about the truth when he lies to cover up the
truth while lying about the truth a Liar?....I think :-)

Sorry I just had a wee nip of Muzzle Loader for my "arthritis" and I couldn't
help myself :-)

See ya

One-week introductory course. Last I checked, NTPS doesn't even offer it
anymore, a two-week session is now the shortest.
