Li,

For some reason my camera did not save the settings to record upside down, so to my surprise when I saw the video for the first time it was upside down. I turned the video 180 degrees using the video editor and all the images were switched. What you see on the left is actually on the right and vice versa.

Please send me an email, I would like to learn the trick to improve/increase the camera recording capacity.

Thank...

Thanks SW club for orgnizing the fly-in party. I had exciting flight Saturday. After launched in the sink cycle and lost by 300 feet below launch, I went way too "north" (it is actually WSW, not North from the map!) with the wrong impression that I need to clear the "north" ridge (again, it is WSW, not North) as shown in the red path blew vs. green path. I was about 2400" MSL when I got close to ridge below the lake on the red path. Luckly I got a thermal took me back...

Ernie , copy my photos over to the photo gallery at will or at your leisure.. I was just experimenting on YUKU ; happened to see a mysterious photos folder.
too bad the link wouldn't work.

(I used to have a personal folder at photo gallery but it got lost when we went to YUKU.)

I'd like to nominate Sandy to be the next El Presidente of SW.

Charlie:
The direct link to your photos doesn't work well. All, try this instead:
1. click "Charlie Nelson" to the left of his post.
2. in Charlie's profile, click the "view my images" button.
3. click the "St Helena Flyin Ma9 2009 Album" link.
4. click "slide show" under the first photo.

BTW, everyone who has an ID for this bulletin board has some photo storage space on Yuku, as Charlie has used.

I had a great time at the Fly In, too. Thanks to everyone who came and all those who made it happen.

I was so glad that Sandy, the new ranger, came to party with us. It was fun playing hacky sack with her and her daughter Kelly. They had a great time kiting Anthony's paraglider.

What a difference a day makes.

Thanks again to everyone who helped to organize and work through this event. Especially Ernie, EC (damn fine meal!), Donna, and our drivers (Kathy and Mike for helping us to get a Sunday flight in). I really respect the way this club maintains good friendships with the landowners that make this possible. Really looking forward to the Yosemite weekend....

Thank you all that make the Sonoma Wings Club for planning such event. Grace, Kathleen and I had a great time. We really appreciate the time and effort that the club members put to make this happen.

I have flight footage and will post a video soon.

Let me know if there are descrepencies in the results. Not that it will change anything, but I strive for accuracy.
So... A good time was had by all. Thanks to the drivers, Kathy Nelson, Grace and Phil. Thanks to Phil for staying on launch until the last pilot was off. Thanks to Ernie and EC for cooking. The food was great and was done a little later so the drivers and late landers all got fed the same time as everyone else. Thanks to Matt for getting the beer and for being the primary...

Thanks , To everyone who put together another great fly-in. A special thanks to Jon and Leo for all their efforts in securing the new launch. A great BBQ was put on by Ernie and EC and all that contributed food. And of coarse Jane for allowing this great group of people to gather and share this wonderful sport of ours. Thanks Mike K. for the ride up. Dave C.

Nice site, well organized, great people to fly with, super food, lots'o'swag....You guys know how to do a fly-in.

(Also special thanks to Mike for helping us itinerants get in another flight Sunday. It was slightly smoother in the air, not quite as high (5k max for me vs 5800 yesterday).

OH, so "RG" is Ryan Goebel! Now I get it. Ryan, you'd have saved me some worry if you'd made this clear earlier.

Since you're no. 15 on the fly list, I'm sure you'll fly.

Re: Spring Fly-in @ St. Helena - Postponed to 5/9!

I am definately in for Saturday and hopefully Sunday. I'm not sure where the miscommunication was there. I'm driving up with Joe so I hope my slot is still there (it appears to be on the roster for both days).

Here's the sign-up list.

There was a flurry of activity yesterday. We now have all 20 flying slots filled, with 3 people on the waiting list.

As in the past, if you're on the waiting list, you should still come out since we usually have a few folks not show up, opening up a slot.

NOTES:
1. I had "JTSquid" and "RG" want to fly. "RG" said one of...

Ok Leo !! I will ditch Funston tomorrow and come to the fly-in. I also convinced my wife and kid to tag along and spend the day out. I will come ready to fly, but if I did not make cut (so many people responding last minute) I will be happy to spend the day at the LZ with family, new friends and good food.
