Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberGosh! I’m so saddened for Stan and his wife. Any time I get lucky and hook the occasional thermal by the high school bus parking I think of Stan because he showed me how it works perhaps 12 years ago.
One of my favorite Stan quips was when he got in Knumbnuts’ face and called our training circuit, “The Big Oops!”. You always knew where you stood with Stan. I may be blunt but Stan was BLUNT! I am truly sorry that he has left the building. I wish his wife and family peace.
Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberIt was a good day


Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberGreat photo! It was eerie watching it unfold while flying. Then all the rerouted air traffic turned the sky into a slalom course.
Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberTFR don’t fly past high school

Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberBy a weird twist of shuttle availability I cancelled my 2PM ride to Marshall w/ Marcello after I got a 230PM ride up at Sylmar. The CSUSB rain rate exceeded 5″/hour for a fairly long duration depositing 1.8″ or so in 30 minutes. I had dinner Tuesday w/ the pilot who landed off field and have seen two different videos of the event. It was freaky. I’m glad no one was injured in the melee. The weather at Sylmar was like:
Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberKeep and eye on the TFRs folks!

Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberI’m pretty sure it’s long gone Tom.
Will you be flying while you’re here?
Jonathan Dietch Premium Member“Oh dang! I guess if you can post a photo like that, it doesn’t matter how it’s being funded at all.”
You see Linda, even at night it is shadowy.
As you were

Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberIsn’t it better to be outgoing than withdrawn?
Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberBille,
Each leg has meaning so this is in keeping with the topic.
Since you are well-grounded I’ll call you lightning legs Bille from now on.
Cheers,
JD
Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberThe name-calling and direct insults are very unbecoming and uncalled for. No matter how much you disagree with somebody, there is always a better way to deal with the situation, especially as one of our club representatives.
It is possible that one party to the conversation may have been sick with COVID-19 for the second time in under a year and their normally civil and relaxed manners were temporarily absent. Just something to consider. I have had enough people explode at me and make false accusations right to my face that I have tried to learn to step back and look for the underlying message and ignore the mode of delivery at least for the time it takes to determine what they may be concerned about. Once I have acknowledged that I heard their true concern they usually stop the overt attack.
Just a few things to consider. Thanks.
Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberIt should last because I bought an airport-quality windsock, which I donated to the club. Enjoy!
Thank you, Esquire!
Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberI was expecting a photo of the legendary chase driver from Ojai.
Jonathan Dietch Premium MemberWill there be a TFR or NOTAM?
I hope you realize that you have just invited pilots to overfly with cameras ready.
If I catch the garland does that mean I can have an extra wife?
