Hello, thing! Your gliding club is in Lincoln? Chris Rollings always said there are no thermals East of the M1.....
I am so sorry that old timers on these forums think that interest has declined.
It seems a wonderful way of yakking to fellow pilots across the miles, and asking questions of ATC, and putting in my two cents without being flamed (not often, anyway) even in the professional forums.....and when I joined I knew so little about the internet I was too ignorant to sign up with a mystery name, so you all know where to find me, and I have to be careful what I say...
Surely the economic downturn makes one question priorities. No doubt about that.
BUT can I ask for your help please? I am making a list, with the approval of the BGA, of power planes that have tow hooks that are not necessarily owned by gliding clubs.....perhaps somebody reading this has one and would like to add his pride and joy to the list? Because that is the only way I can continue to own an airplane, pulling up gliders. Very challenging and a lot of fun. PM if you prefer.
