LAST WEEKEND EVENTS If you missed the safety seminar last Saturday, make sure you check in with someone who was there. Important Issues: 1. We're all in this together; Watch out for each other! 2. Do NOT fly without a working radio at Pangborn; Announce intention to enter the pattern using the word "Glider" and continue your landing announcements using that word. 3. Be mighty careful around the ridge, especially in wind shear and easterly flow. 4. Get out of the mountains when the light gets low. 5. We've been very fortunate with close encounters of all kinds in the last two years; Let's all watch out for each other. We have two new members, Pauline and Bruce Jamieson, a father/daughter duo. Pauline is a flight student at CWU, soon to test for her CFI rating, and her father, Bruce, is a former power pilot. Both will be regulars on Saturdays from now on. Vitek checked out in the Lark, and Don flew his first solo of the year in the Lark Saturday. Until we get our Blanik back or another trainer, the Lark will be booked up pretty tightly on Saturdays. I need to reserve it for lessons then, but Sundays will be free. DEADLINE April 1; No Foolin'! We will transition to our new, beautiful, superdelux, exotic, sexy, information packed, stellar, and cosmic Google site. Furthermore, on April 1, we will officially migrate all posts to Google Group. So, don't be shy, don't be square, don't be caught pulling you're hair. Move on over and Google to Greatness at: www.cascadesoaringsociety.com Mike |
