General MemberThere’s lots more grass to mow in Wisconsin.
Thank you Paul Voigt from WI!
Not to be confused with Paul Voight from Ellenville, NYJonathan Dietch

General MemberAnd you still dont get it?
Dear Club Safety Officer,
Landing at a busy Class G airport after punching through an aerobatics training corridor with a slow-flying glider seems like a safety matter for email broadcast and site protocols. I don’t recall seeing either during the past few years. If I’ve overlooked something please post the memo or CSS page link. If not then let’s add a caution to the site guidelines page.Jonathan Dietch
General MemberI think you along with a few others appear in various situations when viewed in full screen. Very challenging day given how rapidly the clouds kept changing and flush cycles kept everyone guessing.

General MemberThat was a really fun day.

General MemberY’all are awesome!
Jonathan Dietch
General MemberAnyhow, we are probably at far more risk from other free flight pilots!

General MemberWatch the whole video. There are 3 encounters in one afternoon. The commercial jet encounters that seemed close in my imagination were not that close. But this shows you how fast it happens.

General MemberDon’t Panic!
The BB crossing are more like 8K to 9.5K. The Santa’s Village Crossings are in the 9 to 12K range.
It’s been my experience that commercial jets tend to appear 3-4X closer than they actually are.
GA aircraft are a different matter and I’ve had a few encounters that I wish I hadn’t. The fatal Cessna in TX is more like a fat GA aircraft about the size of an Elsinore jump plane.
Thanks for the reality check by running and uploading those tracks!Jonathan Dietch
General MemberThanks for everyone’s work on the stairs.
While you are up there with tools please remove these serious trip and blown launch hazards from the ramp which I first spotted a few days ago. These studs are embedded deeply in the ground. Maybe they are there for a ramp project? IDK but I had pause for concern when I launched.
Cheers, JDJonathan Dietch
General MemberNice shot of the slacker! Looks like a fun day.
I hope you could smell frijoles over Hortencia’s.

General MemberGood job Jerome. Tuesday was very good. Too darned cold to even want to get higher than the mid 6’s. Flew just under 3hrs and landed 10 minutes before sunset. Covered a lot of ground and flew with many different pilots along the way. The last 90 minutes was one big glass-off. I wanted to land into the setting sun but had to pee.

General MemberLots of fun Monday
And panoramic views
until the overcast turned the sky into mud
then bright blossoms came out

General MemberI made a short music video from my flight between Switzer Park and S of Cajon Mtn. Some nice golden color change going on. Good lighting for the day as well.
