Soaring Cafe Latest and Greatest
by SC Admin •
Blogs are interesting websites to work on. We are not quite sure how to characterize the Soaring Cafe — is it a blog, is it an “e-zine”? The site is built on a blog engine, but that really doesn’t seem to make us a blog. Robin Clark particularly liked the Cafe aspect of our title…

I plan to apply for a STC to use the LS6 as a twin seater…;-)More seriously, the family is now larger, will it be compatible with flying ?
SSA Conference Blog – Saturday
by Rand Baldwin •
Saturday dawned bright and sunny, but chilly nonetheless. There’s a huge pile of snow just outside the hotel entrance. It’s been there since Wednesday and it’s not getting any smaller! I started the day with the Governors, Chapters, and Clubs breakfast. There was no formal program for the breakfast, but I enjoyed a pleasant visit…

Blogging the SSA Conference
by Rand Baldwin •
On Thursday, Bill and I are heading north for the winter! Well, three days of winter. We’ll be in Philadelphia attending the 2011 Soaring Society of America Conference. Unlike a typical SSA convention, there will be no exhibitors at the conference, but that’s about the only difference so far as I can tell from the published program. The conference organizers have lined up what looks like a great selection of speakers who will dissert on a wide variety of topics.
Up the Learning Curve
by Rand Baldwin •
For Bill and me, the first two weeks of the New Year have flown by in a whirlwind of work, flying, family, and. . .getting SoaringCafe off the ground. Like many new ventures, it’s been a lot of fun mixed in with the occasional frustration. Speaking of the latter, we spent the past week struggling…
