  • Free Flight Vol Libre
    3/96 Jun/Jul free flight • vol libre Liaison CANDIDATE WANTED SAC representative to the board of the Aero Club of Canada • Lives in SW Ontario to minimize travel cost for SAC • Wants to pitch in and contribute to the wellbeing of our sport by representing the views of SAC to the other air sports • Reports to the board of SAC Very, very low wages but high perceived value Apply by contacting the National office (fax, mail, phone, Internet, carrier pigeon, etc) Approximately 130 SAC members are currently on the Internet. If you just recently got hooked, please let the office know your address as we plan to use this cost–efficient route more and more. SAC now has its very own web home page ( http://www.pubnix.net/~rmacpher/sac.html ). This net address is temporary and we are routing email through the Carleton freenet. It will be easier for our staff to manage this communication channel when we get a permanent SAC address. We are getting soaked! All of us by various governments, but in eastern Canada at least by Mother Nature. This probably explains why few clubs have sent in the membership fees. Remem- ber, the insurance requires that you be a registered member to be insured, be it your own glider or a club ship! If you have any doubt, ask your treasurer first if your SAC membership has been sent to the National office. On the topic of rainy weather, how would you feel if you had spent serious money to practise at the site of the 1997 World’s and experienced the worst weather that area has seen in 18 years.

  • I Thought It Was Funny
    II thoughtthought itit waswas funnyfunny selected humour from 3 decades of free flight Tony Burton editor Gil Parcell illustrator free flight the fun collection Here is a collection of much of the funny stuff that has been in free flight over the years – the earliest entry was from 1976 – but the material has been organized by author or theme. Enjoy. The book reads better if it is printed double sided rather than viewed a page at a time on your monitor because many facing pages are layed out to be seen together. Clubs, print out a copy or two for your clubhouse. We have been privileged over many years to have had Gil Parcell among our throng. He was a professional illustrator and cartoonist beginning back in the 60s, and the day he took up gliding as a pas- time was start of a long happy association with editors in Canada and the USA, and his work has filtered into gliding publications around the world. His style is distinctive; what isn’t Gil’s is by Mike Morgulis (for the Bald Eagle stories), and a few one-offs. ❦ Spring Fever Oh, what a glorious day! to be tending my garden this May little bird’s harmonizing, bumblebees bumble-izing, for what could a mere mortal pray?

  • The History of Lasham Airfield
    GLIDING HERITAGE CENTRE A HISTORY OF LASHAM AIRFIELD Author Glyn Bradney Description Lasham airfield in WW2 and how it became a major gliding centre Date 28th April 2015, version 1.) INTRODUCTION The articles I’ve written for the Gliding Heritage Centre website to-date have been intended to fulfil the educational remit that the GHC has through being a registered charity. Given that the GHC is based at Lasham, which is one of the very largest gliding organisations in the world, it seems appropriate that I should write something on the history of Lasham itself. However, I’m not going to go into huge detail in covering every single one of the airfield’s many facets, there are other sources which I will reference should the reader really wish to “dig deep” into its evolution and past in particular areas. ("Lasham Airfield" by fr:Utilisateur:Steff - Personal picture ex Wikipedia, taken during a London Stansted-Dinard flight, May 2006, looking SE. Lasham village is at “3 o’clock”, the ATC maintenance facility at “5 o’clock”.) Lasham airfield, pronounced as “Lash-am” throughout the gliding world, was built by McAlpines in 1941/1942 using Irish labourers and Italian prisoners of war. The usual airfield naming convention was used, namely that of the nearest significant habitation, in this case Lasham village. The history of Lasham village itself goes back a long way. It’s recorded in the Doomsday All rights Reserved | The Gliding Heritage Centre, Lasham Airfield, Alton, Hampshire, GU34 5SS| GLIDING HERITAGE CENTRE book of 1086 as being of “2 ½ hides”, at that time called “”Esseham”.

I learned to fly at Crazy Creek Soar- Pilots ing, in Middletown, CA. I’ve been flying gliders a little over 2 years, and earned my private certificate in October, 2001. The process Doris Grove: of learning to fly and soar has been one of the best experiences of my life! “I don’t teach men to fly” In 1983, while watching a hang gliding national competition in Dunlap, CA, the power and grace of silent flight captured my imagina- “The first 1000 km flight” tion and interest. I enrolled in Chandelle SF’s training program, and a year later, was a rated hang glider pilot flying the Sierra. Soon after, I met my partner in life, Wally Anderson, who now owns and operates Merlin Flight School, a paragliding school in the SF Bay area. About 10 years ago, I learned to fly paragliders, so now have the choice of 3 types of soaring flight to participate in. Last Page 8 summer I bought a Pegasus, and have been doing most of my flying in it. She is a sweet flying glider, known as 5 Fox.
