Robert-Roy Stewart. Define hypocrite. If you don’t want to engage in a non flying dialog, you fucked up by showing up here, whining about this thread. I get the idea you’re not comfortable in any role other than blind acceptance and compliance with Newsom’s stay at home decree.
It’s my opinion that men like you are not men, because it’s the responsibility of a man to learn the truth, and not simply obey authority without question, as you seem to advocate.
You were presented with a great deal of data and qualified opinion, and you chose to complain and suggest this kind of information is not acceptable, when it’s relevant to the operation of the flight park.
Your participation is basically a really lame, sideways attempt to control dialog when it doesn’t toe the government media pandemic fear factory doom circus line.
THat’s what I call a willfully ignorant boot licker.
Maybe a sport like hang gliding isn’t for you, because it requires thinking outside the box and dealing with chaos on a daily basis.
Maybe whining about public policy dialog isn’t an adult level of participation in a dialog about policy that directly effects flight park operations.

@ Mitch :

You put up a really good argument !

The people who “Should” be in quarantine, are the old ones with problems,

like me, (no spleen) ; they never should have locked down the entire country.

And i can see why the corona death rate was way over inflated ; now that

you pointed it out to me .

I’m still gonna do everything possible , to not catch this bug ; mostly because

the 2017-18 flue that took out 79,400 people in the USA , (it almost took me out)

and that was ((with)) the flu vaccine. I got no defense , for corona ; so best i do not

play with it , if possible.

This one hit HOME ; for me :

USHPA suggestion : “If you’re planning to begin flying again after an

extended time away, keep in mind the spring/early summer conditions

and your current skill level. Take the time to safely work back up to

challenging conditions and ambitious flights”.

And also — i realize that this lock-down affected a lot of people in

a very negative way ; but , because of my compromised  immune condition

due to not having a spleen , (it also improved the odds of , “MY” living

through this , by a bunch) !!

SO

I appreciate the inconvenience , to all affected !!

Last Saturday , Las Vegas started to open Up ; we will see in

about 10 more days from now, if the average infected rate ,

changes for the (+ or -). Right now it’s about 100 new infected

cases, each day ; and that is with the Lock-Down.

Welcome back to flying, Luke!

Pretty rare that there’s a flyable day and no locals at AJX to give you a good site intro. Keep watching the weather page to look for a light SW late afternoon or early morning for smoother conditions.

The closest launch to the LZ is the 750 – it takes me with a full size paraglider and harness about 30 minutes to hike up (and I’m not in super-super shape). Check out the site briefing for the 750 here – there’s also a video on that page that shows you exactly how to hike up to it so you don’t get lost in the bushes (under “hike and fly”).

Also, make sure to read the site guidelines and pick a membership before coming out.

Safe flying.

Still wondering what to do? (not too serious)

Instead of trying to make sense of the conflicting advice from politicians, medical experts, civil right defenders, corporations, or struggling families…

Simplify and just ask yourself: What would Chrigel do?

OK you guys :

I’m optimistic enough about this bug being brought under control ; i

plan to rejoin the USHPA next month , and come fly with you-All

this summer.

SO

if you see a white haired legless dude ; no need to run away in fear

because i usually have Beer !!

This could be of value for out-of-state pilots who want to visit…

Some restaurants have re-opened for dine-in service. Since this weekend I have binged on: Sizzlers, Olive Garden, Denny’s, Chili’s. Others also offering indoor dining: El Pollo Loco, Applebee’s, IHOP, Red Robin, BJ’s, Coco’s. The list is growing, but waiting on my favorite local Thai and pizza places. Note: Most (if not all) drive-through places have remained open throughout.

I called some motels/hotels near Marshall, and about 1/3 are open to the public, while others may only accept essential service workers.

It almost feels normal again.

Hopefully, you/they would drink up what is in the mugs first?

<b>Nothing worse than wasting good cold Beer!</b>
