OK I am looking for some Feed-Back. What I want to know is; Just how many of You Guys seem interested in My proposed former Big Guy in the Sky, now the soon to be; "The Phoenix Guy in the Sky" well what kind of feed back I get from You Guys. I hopping that My Fly-In will generate some interest. As the saying goes: "A Penny for Your Thoughts".

The last Fly-In's. as this one will be held at the San Francisco Bay Areas great Mountain site. WHEN? I am not so sure of that. But sometime next spring will work. As to which Weekend that I will hold the Flt-In I am at this time open to suggestions.

THE EVENTS:

I will hold an event that will combine flying Cross Country with doing a Spot Landing. OK Check this out; Pilots will Launch from Diablo, they will fly to a turn around point that will be Fifty Miles away.. They will then fly back to the Mountain where they will land as close to the target cone as possible. If "SAID PILOT" first completes the out and return, Lands the closest to the cone will Win the event. The winning Pilot will chose which Club be awarded $500.00 . Also I will hold an Fly as far as You can XC contest, with the Pilot who fly's the furthest receiving $5.00 Per Mile that will be presented to the Club of Her, or His choice. I will also give the winning Pilot's Driver $100.00 for Gas.

Please take note: If a Pilot who says wins one of My events Whacks their Landing. They do not win the contest. They also will donate $5.00 a Mile to the Club of My Choice.

I HOPE TO BECOME; "THE PHOENIX GUY IN THE SKY"

Look; I fully understand that some, if not most of You think that I am a little bit off Base. Heck I have always been off center. yes My; "NORMAL" has always been an Abby Normal state. I flew My Predator for Fifteen years or so. What can I say about the Predator? What a Glide! I have not flown My Predator in Eleven and a Half Years mow. But when I was Flying XC with Friends, My Predator would while having launched from the same site, flying the same Route. My Predator would fly Further than my Friends who were flying Their Topless Gliders. I mean the Predator is just so awesome a Glider! Well one Day a little while ago. I asked John if I would still be able to Kick-Ass regarding my flying with Topless Gliders? John made two very Valid Points. One; "You need to know that They have had Twenty years to work on it". Also He told Me that I will be quite rusty. He also said to Me that He thought that I should begin My Flying once again flying a Single Surface Glider. I have Contacted Cameron regarding My getting a Single Surface Glider. All My friends have ben there for Me, Thank You Guys for helping Me get My self Back to My Abby Normal Self.

Heck, who knows? Maybe if Cameron can set Me up with a good Single surface Glider. I hopefully will be able to get Dialed into it. So maybe I will be able to lay Down, for a Single Surface Glider. I will be able to cover some Miles while Flying a Single Surface. Why do We Fly Cross Country? Well i always think of what Anitta once Said; "ADAY WITOUT XC IS LIKE A DAY WITHOUT SINSHINE".
