Dick Proseus, the event CD, has been a member of the Wilson club from back in the 70s, when I had just joined the club and was learning to fly. He told me that Wilson is having another glider contest in a few weeks (October, I think) which is going to be the event used as the US team selection for the world championship in 2011. I might have to to sneak out again - and take my reclining lawn chair.

Cool, Bob. How about someone doing a demo at FFT?

Hey, it works for me.

One of the guys there has been out to our field several times - Josh knows his name. I think he may be a club member. Josh, do you know if he is?

Was digging around some old stuff and look what I found. Can anyone identify this guy?

Guess the year. Hint, look at the radio he is holding, and the radio that is in the tailgate of the truck.

Coors2u · 08-30-2010, 06:03 PM

wesryman · 08-30-2010, 06:08 PM

RobertV · 08-30-2010, 06:11 PM

Man, the 70's were cruel! That's my "surfer dude" hair. I spent more time doing that in those days than I did flying.

I guess I'll have to pull out some pics I have of Bob now..........
