Thanks Gifted.
Chaingun: It's not about being defensive, Offensive or just straight up provocative.
Through the years we've had our share of fakes, Frauds, Net bimbos, that have raised the angst on the site. Back when I was a LtCol. In the reserves, I used to Press in on a number of wackjobs, Some i gave a nice Fox 3 to the face the others, well lets just say I had a good selection of carpet to choose from.
Now that Coach is around it has settled down, as hes more \" PC\" than I am ever capable of being.
To be honest I'm too self absorbed in my own life to keep up on the goings on of WT. Hell I live less than 15 miles from two of the Coolest and most indepth Hawg Maintainers on the site. and they havnt seen me in months (maybe their prayers have been answered???) I say this in jest because the other Few are either retiring or lost in a cornfield in Indiana, and they can't bitch slap this retired Needle burner any time soon
About Gliders: where do i start. I started off in old scweizer and blaniks as a kid. My grandfather flew them and ran a Local glider school. On the summers I would fly with my uncle or father. It was a great time. A few years into my Test pilot Assignment at Edwards a Flight surgeon that was a member of the Mohave Soaring club had passed away and I had the fortune of passing his wife in the hall as she was cleaning out his desk.
She had mentioned how her husband had enjoyed flying with me, and offered to give me first dibs on the ASW 19/20. as luck would have it I had recently lost my car to a Dumptruck ( don't ask) and had a insurance settlement in my wallet. 6 grand later I was a proud owner of a Schleicher and trailer. 200 dollars later I had a Hitch added to my 0-60 in 11miles 82 plymouth reliant ( yeah you read that right!)
I have competed through the years in soaring contests. and had the fortune as a Engineer for an aerospace company to design and build long duration UAV's. It payed off well, and the company got very wealthy. that first bonus I picked up another Glider ASW 28.
I have been wanting to fly them the past couple years but having beat cancer and getting my CFII Rotorwing this year has kept me busy.
Do you feel unwelcome? beats me why you should feel that way. I havn't caught anything on the threads that would lead to that conclusion
Were just all a bunch of Assholes around here. Get with the program dickhead! And enjoy the site.
