Nick,
Take a look at the (soaring) WX for this week and tell us which day(s) might look good.
Some links to free soaring WX web sites can be found at http://aviation.derosaweb.net/#wxThe free Dr. Jack web site has been used for 10+ years and is pretty
good (you need to get a login – easy and fast) and looks out 2 days.Let us know
what you find.Best Regards,

Your recollection is incorrect. Larry was invited to a Sky Soaring Board meeting each month and attended many of them.

John DeRosaDue to a Sky Soaring web site email issue a number of old emails from June 21st were re-sent.

John H DeRosaNick – Almost a 5 hour flight. That is GREAT. Congrats!If you are working on badges the Silver badge has these requirements;
– Silver Altitude is a 1,000-meter (3,281-foot) altitude gain above an in-flight low point.– Silver Duration is a 5-hour flight time after tow release.– Silver Distance is a 50-km (31.07-mile) cross country flight.This is well within the capability of the PW-5. Silver badge allows you to fly in contests.John H DeRosa(OHM Ω)“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”– Albert EinsteinOn Tuesday, June 28, 2022 at 08:28:29 PM CDT, SSI <webmaster@skysoaring.com> wrote:
I am unsure that first getting a Bronze badge is needed to work on your Silver badge but I might be wrong.
What I do know is that if you do a successful fly a “leg” of a Gold (or Diamond) badge, such as a 300km flight, that same flight will get you the Silver (and Gold) distance.So I assume you can jump right over the Bronze!John H DeRosa(OHM Ω)“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”– Albert EinsteinOn Wednesday, June 29, 2022 at 09:41:53 AM CDT, SSI <webmaster@skysoaring.com> wrote:

Best Regards,
John H DeRosaGood to hear that we had some good weather at Sky Soaring and some good flights. Today was the practice day at the Albert Lea contest and it was good WX here also.Glad to hear that the 1-26C has been flown. Its a wonderful donation to the club. That noise might be from an inspection cover. I have had this happen to me. Try taping all the covers and see if the issue goes away.John H DeRosaOn Sunday, May 22, 2022, 08:12:07 PM CDT, SSI <webmaster@skysoaring.com> wrote:

4:00p.m. – 7:00p.m.Edeltraud Landl joined her parents, three sisters and one brother in Heaven on May 1, 2022, after a four-year battle with Alzheimer’s. She was surrounded by her husband of 49 years, Karl. Edeltraud was born on March 4, 1945, at the end of WWII, in Zwodau, in the former Czechoslovakia. Her entire family was forced to flee their homeland in Romania due to the advancing Russian Army. From Czechoslovakia, the family moved to Austria and lived there for several years. They then moved into Germany, near Stuttgart, where they permanently settled. Edeltraud came to Chicago in 1969 as an Au Pair. It was here that she met her husband Karl and they married in Moessingen, Germany in 1973.
After settling in Arlington Heights in 1973, Edeltraud, having previously worked for a newspaper in Germany, found a job as a secretary in the now defunct German newspaper ‘Eintracht.’ In 1975, Karl and Edeltraud purchased a home in Prospect Heights. Her activities were many. She was the Secretary of the German/Austrian/Swiss ‘Alpine Ski Club’ for many years. She was an avid gardener and member of the Prospect Heights Garden Club, where she loved to decorate the annual Christmas tree and help with the annual Spring Plant Sale. She loved to ski with Karl in the Rocky Mountains, especially in Aspen, CO. She loved to play tennis with her friends from the Alpine Ski Club.
In the summer, Edeltraud and Karl loved to visit the many great National Parks. Together, Karl and Edeltraud took three trips to Sydney, Australia via Hawaii, to visit Karl’s sister. Edeltraud and Karl loved music and visited the Grand Ole Opry, Elvis’ Graceland, New Orleans, and the Rock’n Roll Hall of Fame. Edeltraud was known for her great German cooking and baking.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Research Foundation at http://www.alzheimersresearchfoundation.com.
