The ghosts of Christmas past ...

Today will be 5 years since my memorable train trip to meet Joe Faust at the Los Angeles train station in 2017.

It was a trip that I will never forget. Thanks Joe.    :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute:

I launch wing works using the BK ramp at my home yard every day for several years now. Such incline is playing a key role in the makings of many HGs that will have packs that are busable. Thanks to Bob Kuczewski!

I heard that today, Christmas 2022, Bob had fun flights at Dockweiler in mild wind using Condor 235 which field questions from a highly interested UCLA guy; the two worked together to pack up the wing at day's end.

All true Joe. :)

I'll post more details and pictures to the Friends of Dockweiler forum, but my day of flying was a nice Christmas present from all the folks who worked to open Dockweiler to non-USHPA citizens. Thanks to Joe, Frank, Supervisor Hahn, her staff, and the good folks at Beaches and Harbors.

And a Big Tango Yankee to yall', and for Joe's H0 rating so a ground bird like me could learn so much more about this truly elegant sport and It's crazy pilots. It's an honor.
