I am so pumped just thinking that I might be able to be on a Launch, holding that Great Big, Huge 330 Wills Wing Condor Three Thirty. I hope to actually launch that Glider the next time I have the opportunity to launch that Big-Bird. Last Time that I was on Launch over at a Training Hill in Benicia, the wind was a little cross from the left. The Wind also was a little too Gusty. So I broke down, we then drove Home. I just hate the truly negative effect that Good-Judgement has on My getting Air-Time. Yes Good Judgement really does Suck!

flying gear questions:

I have an ICOM Radio. Where should I go to look for two things for the Radio? One: I need a pouch to hold My Radio when I Fly. Two: I need a Push t talk For My Radio.

Where should I go or do so that I can acquire these two Items?


My 2001 phone call to ICOM now takes me to a medical supply company and not ICOM.
Maybe online has a newer ICOM phone number.
EDIT. I haven’t called ICOM since 8/8/2001 but their phone number must have changed.

I am becoming Concerned

Postby Chris McKeon » Sun Jul 17, 2022 7:40 am

So I was developing a Plan with X late Last week to Fly either on Saturday, or on Sunday this weekend. Well I have not heard from X since before Friday. Tis is not like him. I am becoming worried about Him. I believe that He had to take His mother to Vision Therapy on Friday. but that is all I know. I sure do hope all is OK with X.

MARK MY SKY WORDS::

Postby Chris McKeon » Sun Jul 17, 2022 11:31 am

Ok, here it is Twelve Years Three Months, twenty Days since My last Flight. The Idea, the concept from those all Knowing, supreme Doctors over at the Kaiser Hospital here in Northern California. Well those inept incompetent Charlatans would have scoffed at the Predicament that I am in right here on this beautiful Sunday. For the only reason that I am not heading off to Fly George H's 330 Condor is because Pilot-X has gone A-W-O-O-L. I am concerned something might have happened to Him. Maybe he experienced a Car crash or something. I can just in My Mind see X Hurt si Bad, Tat He is laying there in a Hospital Bed clinging onto Life over at Kaiser Hospital Vallejo. Boy I sure hope that this not the case! For I am talking from experience. You do NOT want to to be in the situation where You are in so much pain, You are injured to the Degree that Your Friend Pilot-X is told; "You should tell His Family to put His Things in order, for He will Not survive". I am not making that up. X was told that back on March Twenty Eight Two thousand Twenty Eight.

When I was at My all Time Lowest. My Doctors, By Doctors I mean both John Muir Doctors and also Kaiser Vallejo Doctors. Well at that time they were at their absolute lowest!

I can not believe how things are going for Me as of of Late. It really does seem to be the case that I will Fly again. Even though I for my first couple of Flights. I will be Flying an Wills-Wing 330 Condor. One could say that since I will be going from Flying the Hottest Fastest, Best Performing Cross Country Glider ever Made, that Glider is as We all know is the Predator. I will be going to Fly a Condor 330. I will hear no Talk regarding How I am stepping so far down, or any such negative Cracks. For I will be Flying!

Well I received a call, and I made two phone calls today. I received a Call from X who has been AWOL for a Few Days. Anyways X is on-Board to go flying this coming Weekend weekend. It has been over Twelve Years since I last Flew. I told John that I hoped that I will still know how to whack a Glider. John said; Do not worry, You will remember how to Whack. Well the Plan is for Me to Fly that 330 WW Condor. Then the plan is for John to drive up here and we can then go oyt to a site where I will Fly His T-2. John also will give My Predator an IRAN. I simply love My Predator. Thanks John. Well I also spoke with Cameron via my Phone. It is So cool for John and Cameron both hold the other in High regard. I love this mutual respect deal that Cameron and John have going on regarding how each of these two hold the other in such high regard. John told Me that Cameron Builds a very nice single surface Glider. As time goes by I really do appreciate this Sport. I really like the People who Design, and build these Gliders.

MY UPCOMING FLIYING:

I really do believe that "MY LOSS" will be My Predator' gain. I mean since My last Flight on My Predator. I have lost over a Hundred Pounds. Last I checked I was 102 pounds' lighter than I was 12 Years ago. But loosing weight has become harder for Me. The First Hundred was easy. 298 to 198 no Problem. I pounded, the Pound Diet. Spend Three Months in a Coma. eat Hospital food, lay on My Back. The weight simply melted off My Body, Oh Yea! Yes Pound Diet Worked. But now that I getting to where I only want to loose another Fifteen Pounds or so. Yes loosing weight has become harder to do. Maybe I should Go out and Pound again. You can't argue with success.

Well, all the best to you Chris! :clap:

We thought for a long time that it was going to be my Condor 330 that you would fly at Dockweiler. Well it is not mine this time, but I'm glad it will be somebody's Condor 330. It's the perfect way for you to start out to fly again.

Don't rush to move from the Condor to another glider. When you first learned to walk - you didn't run a marathon the next day.

Have the best day of your life, wish I could be there,
Frank

Well as long as "X" sticks to the Plan, we will take that Great Big Huge Condor to the Coast where I will Fly it. The mere thought that I will possibly be Flying simply blows My Mind. This will be so Cool!
