At precisely 7.34am on one of the longest days of the year the sun clears the mountain and strikes our tent. Soon it is too hot to stay in bed so the morning ritual begins; a wash and shave followed by tea and discussion of the day’s plans in the shade of a tree. …

The Café Has a New Look!
by Rand Baldwin •
As most of you have no doubt noticed, we’ve made a few changes to the Café this month—well, actually more than a few. Bill has racked up scores of hours in behind-the-scenes machinations that we hope have made the Café more visually appealing, easier to navigate, and more responsive. Our goal has been to make…

I felt the cold clammy hand of fear on the last Friday of April 2013.

As I told you the Austrian Nationals are NOT flown in Austria, but in Nitra in Slovakia this year and in 5 classes.

The club class counts 15 pilots and …nearly a miracle…, they could fly straight away on Saturday and Sunday.
1000 km in a Standard Cirrus in Thermals in Europe!
by Bill Elliott •
What about 1000 km. in a Standard Cirrus!? It was flown last Thursday and believing in the weather forecast from TOP METEO, Michael Ebel flew it and had the day of his life. As I heard from my Lasham friends Alix and Roy, who happened to be there it was shivers all over. Here is […]
