At the recent IGC meeting in Lux- embourg, Margot Aquaderni, our hostess for this year’s WSPA seminar was awarded the 2015 Pelagia Majewska Medal, the highest international recognition for a woman glider pilot. Margot is the fourth WSPA member honored this way. The others are: Bertha Ryan, Doris Grove (US), and the late Jill van den Broeck (Belgium). Nominees for the Majewska Medal have to be nominated by their National Head Organization – in our case the SSA. I am proud that three outstanding women gliderpi- lots I suggested to their national organizations have received the Medal.

  • Free Flight Vol Libre
    3/93 Jun/Jul free flight • vol libre Deepest sympathies are extended to the family of Gunther Geyer– Doersch. Gunther, a very long time and much respected member of SAC, passed away on 10 May on losing a siege with cancer. His absence will be much regretted in the soaring community. A lively discussion (argument, tirade) took place at our last club meeting on the issue of attracting new members. The club president claims that we old f---s (beg your pardon, senior members) are the cause of new people not joining the club. He claims that we form an elite clique that coolly shoulders away any attempt by newcomers to join our happy little circle. The president claims people will not join if they are not having FUN, and we older members stop them from having any FUN because of all the rules and restrictions we put in their way — they can’t do this, and they mustn’t do that, and they have to abide by those, and they can’t have FUN under those condi- tions. To stay they must have FUN, not just during the few minutes they are flying, but also during the hours they are at the club waiting to fly (or waiting after flying to do their duties — oops, mustn’t use that, it’s not a FUN word). The president maintains that statistics prove him out, that the average age of the club member is increasing, indicating that we are not attracting young people. I didn’t want to spoil his argument by pointing out that if we kept every member which ever wished to join, the statistics would indicate the same thing, but we would have a humongus sized club.

  • About FAI (August 2013)
    About FAI Introduction to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale FAI – The World Air Sports Federation August 2013 The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, FAI - The World Air Sports Federation, was founded in 1905. It is a non-governmental and non-profit making international organisation with the basic aim of furthering aeronautical and astronautical activities worldwide, ratifying world and continental records and coordinating the organisation of international competitions. After more than a century of steady growth, FAI is now an organisation of some 100 member countries, forming a strong network linking all those who participate in air sports worldwide. • 2012 FAI Annual Report: www.fai.org/downloads/fai/2012_FAI_Annual_Report Introduction to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale 1.

The Origins At the start of the 20th Century, the pioneering flights of pilots such as Clement Ader, the Wright Brothers and Santos-Dumont, the proliferation of aeronautical competitions, and increasingly rapid technological advances marked the real birth of the modern aviation era. A small group of visionary men recognized the need for an international federation to coordinate and give direction to the rapidly growing aeronautical activity. On 10 June 1905, Count Henry de la Vaulx, Vice-President of the Aero-Club de France, Major Moedebeck of the German Airship League and Fernand Jacobs, President of the Aero-Club of Belgium, gave a presentation to the Olympic Congress of Brussels on their proposal for a « Fédération Aéronautique Internationale ».
