Hello Jeff!Please remove my name from the sign up list as shown below. It just so happens that our first Chicago Land ski racing season most likely begins on that date.

Hi Mike!
No, I never flew in Austria! I started out at Joliet Airport in 1968. Joliet Aviation was a Schweizer Glider dealer at that time. Unfortunately a tornado pretty much wiped out the entire glider fleet in 1969.My first Solo Flight was on Aug.11th., 1968 in a Schweizer 2-22 at Joliet Airport. My 2nd. Solo Flight was on the same day in a Schweizer 1-26. Earned my Silver Badge #2058 in a K6-CR on July 3rd. 1971 out of Clow Int’l. Earned my Gold Badge #1262 with one Diamond on June 3rd. 1978 in an HP-11A over the CGC field. On that day my altitude gain was 10,100ft. with a cloud base of 11,000ft. This should be an Illinois record but our then IL SSA Governor, Rudi Kunda, for some reason denied my application! I guess for some reason he didn’t like me. There was absolutely nothing wrong with my application!!! About the same time another CGC member was awarded the IL record with a gain of 9,600ft.With the Winter mechanical barograph recording flights were simply easier back then than today’s fancy electronic gadgets! My opinion! Never tried for a 500k flight out of SSI although the few times I flew 300k it could have been done but foolishly I didn’t go for it.Now you know it all,
KarlDarn it: When I did it in the 70s there was no email yet and few heard about it!
