Terry & Sherry moving to Middletown CA (NE of Santa Rosa
The rumor is true, Sherry was offered the teaching job she wanted in CA so we are moving in a couple weeks. So, for our going away party we are supplying the first round of pizza and brew at the next club meeting June 12. Yes, I will be buying the pizza! And this is not just a ploy to get more peopl...

Notes from my diary: Sat March 3, “A” Mt Climb to Conquer Cancer walk and fly: Up early at 5AM, meet Lane and Steve K (and his wife Elizabeth) at the LZ east of “A” Mt at 6:30. We took our three PG wings to the top and deposited them in the parking lot for later. Then drive over to the Pima Com Coll...

Some thoughts about good Public Relations: The American Cancer Society probably has a permit giving them (exclusive?) use of Sentinel Peak Park ("A" Mt) for part of March 3, and if so allows them and the city to expect participants to follow certain guidelines and responsibilities. On this day it sh...

I rode with John up to Charlie Geres Just North of Casa Grande, then followed him and Wyatt back down to Hauser road, where we also met up with Andrew and Brad. Winds were a little cross but everyone got a couple tows in by about 2:30 when Charlie decided his winch needed some repair so we called it...

Flew "A" Mt this AM (Sunday)
After checking weather Wunderground (SE) and the BIG flag on top of the new Unisource bldg (SSE) downtown (we live just a couple blocks away), Sherry and I drove over to the "A", checked out the LZ (calm with a hint of N!), drove up to the parking lot and found a nice 5-8 breeze in from the SSE. So ...

Sherry and I went back up today (Sunday/ and after putting a streamer in the LZ) and it was coming in from the south at about 4-8 mph, so I set up (with Sherry as ground crew and retrieve driver) and kited a bit in the parking lot, then just walked the wing across the road, down the ramp and off. La...

Sherry & I arrived at the top (parking lot) at 9 AM to very light (or zero) winds. Eric, Whitney and Lane arrived at ~ 9:30. We hung around an hour but conditions did not improve, remaining very light and variable. Sherry and I then did some hiking on Tumamoc, then checked back on A Mt about noonish...

I got there early Saturday morning and the PG towing (and training) was good. Andy showed up soon after and lots of others too. Weather was pretty good. There were 3 tow rigs, 3 or 4 tow techs in training, several instructors/tow directors, and a dozen pilots cranking out lots of low tows down Mo's ...

PG Towing Sunday August 21
John Wolfe, Andy Miller, new-to-Tucson Ewan Crosbie, and I got up early Sunday and headed north to do some PG towing east of the Estrella Mts. I'd seen a bunch of towing before, but this was my first time actually on tow. Ewan had towed before and John and Andy quite a bit. We met others from up nor...
