I believe that I need some assistance from one of You. For I just got off the Phone, Pilot-X called Me to say ; What do You say to the Idea of Your going Flying omn Sunday? I said a BIG HECK-YES!

A POTENTAL NEGATIVE: I do not have a Clue how to File a T-F-R with the FAA. Would someone please tell Me how to File a T-F-R? Heck I have not flown in Twelve and a half Years, I very well might be more of a hazard than Bob Ortiz was when Flying around Paragliders. I believe that Bob tool out not One, but Bob took out two ParaGliders due to having Mid-Air collisions with a couple of Para-Gliders. Do not be too concerned, but all involved survived. Anyways we We all know that Paraglider Pilots Pride themselves on their ability to cheat Death.

Anyways this is a Joyous occasion I am so happy that it is looking like Sonday October Ninth, I will be back where I belong.

Thank You Joe for Posting the Heads up Regarding T-F-R's.

But Joe You must know that I was just Typing some Trash regarding how I would go about filing a T-F-R for the Airspace that I will be Flying on Sunday. Guys I do not believe any of You have any idea how Badly i want to fly. I mean Twelve and a half Years ago now, I almost met My end. Pilot-X and I are planning on heading out to a Beach here that is just South of San Francisco called Stinson Beach. I will be doing some Dune-Gooning.

Guys I say unto all of You; That I will be in excistasy when My Feet leave the ground for the first time in over a Decade.

Well this Morning after I eat Two Eggs for Breakfast, I will mosey outside and begin My Work-out, I will really be going after doing Dumbbell presses where I lift Dumbells from the ground and Press the Dumbell all the way up. For a Full extension. Just like when I will do Full extension move when I flair that Condor. Good Stuff.

TOMORROW:

Tomorow it will be: "LIGHTS CAMERA CONDOR!

You know I look back at the run of success that I have beloyed Flying My Predator.For many times I have sunk out. Only to find a bit of weak lift. I would work that lift. I would stay with it. I just got tenacious. Low and behold, over and over again My Predator Climb so that i could reenter the XC Arena. I mean heck it is quantifiable. Just how good the Wings Design is.

Does anyone have any idea as to why the Predator was such a Killer Glider?
