| Zero Sink U.S. Mail opt-out | To get you your
quarterly Zero Sink newsletter faster, and to save printing and
postage costs, we're going on-line. We already publish ZS on the Publications
web page in .PDF format the day it's mailed. We will send a notice to
the 'all' email list when ZS is posted.
If you no longer wish to receive Zero Sink in the U.S. Mail, please send an email saying so to Roger Worden at webmaster@ocsoaring.org. If you do not "opt out" we will continue to mail you a copy. The on-line PDF version omits the two pages containing the Membership Roster, since it's in the "public" area and we want to avoid making members' personal information available on the Web. The Roster pages will now be posted at the same time as a separate PDF on the Roster page which is password-protected. Members who know the password can download and print the complete roster. |

| David Kasprzyk Achieves Private Pilot Certificate |
David joined the club about 4 months ago. He
worked very hard at studying, flying and working with
instructor Mary Rust. David is an engineer at Boeing and
works in the robotics department. He has also recently
achieved his license in scuba diving. He loves both of his
hobbies, flying and scuba diving, and now wants to go to the
next level in both.
David's father, Stan Kasprzyk, also works for Boeing and is a CFIG in the Seattle Soaring Club. Some of you might remember meeting him when he came down for a visit last March and flew in the Grob 103. |

10/25/06 - First trial of OCSA's winch |
|
![]() |
The Ocotillo Winch weekend definitely moved OCSA forward in developing its winch program and was a lot of fun. Attending were Lynn Ericksen, Larry and Swantje Tuohino, Harry Irvine, Pete Foley, Tony and Billy Davis, and Nick Ounanian. High rates of climb were seen on every flight. Hats off to Lynn Ericksen in going solo on on a winch tow for the first time, and for being the first OCSA member to be slung aloft by our new winch. Longest duration was 44 minutes by Harry in the Ericksen 2-22 known as Buttercup. Hats off to Larry Touhino as our first OCSA winch driver. |
