Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberCouldn’t we get PewDiePie?



Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberNice fly-in! Big thanks to the club board and all the volunteers!
Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberNice photo David.
Short but scenic flight for me.
Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberI was grinding it out at Pine and watched with envy your and Mario’s seemingly infinite glide back from the pass.
On 6/2/2022 I glided 31 miles at 52:1 only making 2, 180° turns at either Santa’s Village or Sugarpine. I actually went 79.6 miles at an avg of 40:1.

Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberI remember Wilmer. Very upbeat and great company as well as a skilled pilot.
I recall sharing a sweet climb with him while he was flying a cool looking French PG.
I will think of Wilmer while I sip a porter in his honor this evening.
Thanks for letting the community know Jack.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberSounds good Luke.
Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberHe’s really good. Also the 2017 Cloudbase Mayhem episode is worth listening. https://www.cloudbasemayhem.com/episode-43-matt-wilkes-and-emergency-medicine-hypoxia-and-extreme-physiology-for-pilots/
Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberBen for VP & Meezer for EC!
Thanks to Jana & Kathy for all your past and future hard work for the club!
Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberBille,
Here’s the whole soundtrack from which I used track 8 or 9.
Glad you enjoyed my humble adventure. I managed to get an 11:1 L/D over ground for 5.8 miles on that glide-out using a single surface wing with barely an 8:1 L/D. That’s what I call fun.
Cheers,
Jonathan
Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberScott, It was one track 8 or 9 from the Smilla’s Sense Of Snow OST by Hans Zimmer et al.
I’ve already deleted everything from the edit.
Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberFollowed the following route yesterday and it was a sad sight skimming along so much denuded landscape with a spiderweb of fresh fire break scars. I hope the root system is able to secure the soil against erosion and mudslides.

Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberIt was fun staying on the West side of the 18 and seeing how much ground could be covered.


Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberMy guess is that ‘the author’ is more or less a ‘rubber stamp’ and that the real authors are the personnel who run SBD in concert with Amazon, Walmart and other fulfillment centers making room for more on-demand package delivery by air over the coming decades. That is a Prime Air jet making its daily round from 2022. This will probably increase by 20-fold or more over the coming years.

Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberKREI wasn’t even aware of the proposed changes until late September yet the memo was signed 7/2/2024. Big thanks to Dan for keeping up with the RAACP and bringing this to everyone’s attention.
On Monday I will attempt to get in touch with the FAA and request an extension of the comment period.
