Way to go Pete, I just read your name in this months Soaring magazine! I'll race you to gold! Keep up the good work.

I think I know how to combat the cigarette smoke from my neighbors, I made an impromtu apple crisp for a pot luck at work tomorrow and my place smells way better, sure their smoke is still bad for my health but at least it is more pleasant to breath. I may get fat(ter) if i make an apple crisp...

I had a great day at the airport. I did seven flights with two students. My first student is the only primary student that I have had since I got my CFI-G this January, most of my students are private pilot transitions. He was ready to solo two weeks ago but was unable to commit the time needed...

Ok here we go again, I wrote this up once but it didnt post as I messed around too long. Last Saturday I had a great flight with four of my friends since I was actually home during great wave conditions. The email chatter had been going around all week with constant weather updates from Tim...

Do any POAers know of any aerospace engineering jobs in the Chicago area? I would prefer a design/research position with possible fabrication support duties.

I just noticed I am doing the pre-take-off checklist now, I wondered if the preflight would ever end!

I was able to get in the air with the new Jantar glider today! I am glad to have the first flight over with so I can be done with being anxious and get on to having fun. The take-off and landing went very well so now I at least know I can fly the thing. I suspect everyone gets the first flight...

Hello, Three of us want to purchase a glider in a partnership and I am looking for information on how to do this or advice from any of you that have been through similar activities. I have read that an LLC is the way to go. Thanks, Adam

Is anyone heading down to the SSA convention at ABQ next week? I plan on arriving late Wednesday night and leaving Sunday afternoon. I look forward to meeting a whorde of glider pilots and talking so much aviation that it would kill most people. The sticky thing is that they decided to have it...

Two of my freinds, Chris and Chris, and I are headed to the Chicago area this evening for a $100 hamburger if anyone wants to join us around 5 ish.
