In November, OCSA resumed operations at Hemet-Ryan Airport
with the Grob 103 and PW5. Two weekends of aerotowing were
followed on December 10 by a day of winch launching. While
we continue to negotiate a tiedown contract with the County
of Riverside, we are renting tiedowns near the power ramps
on the south side of the airport, and towing the gliders
across to Runway 4-22 each day. WE'RE BACK!!! Check
out the pictures. |

The
FAA has notified OCSA that the County's eviction of gliders
from HMT in October 2009 was "unreasonable, flawed, and
disingenuous". This is a great win which sets a precedent for
all publicly owned gliderports in the USA. We hope
to reestablish operations at Hemet-Ryan by the end of 2011. |

Dust Devil Dash, from Tehachapi to Coso Junction dry lake.
That's about 61 nautical miles. Crew included Nick Ounanian
and Milan Gembicky. |

Roger Worden had a 5-hour flight in the PW5 over the Tehachapi
mountains. If his Volkslogger flight trace is accepted by the
SSA, this will complete his Silver badge. Clear skies were
interrupted by scattered showers of champagne.

Bill Tappan soloed in a Blanik L-13! Bill sez: "Having
flown only Schweizer, I found the Blanik a little "different"
to say the least. I flew two patterns with Mary and it
clicked! She turned me loose and despite the temptation of
great looking cu's, I flew a perfect pattern with a smooth
landing roll to the staging area! No pushing required. Looking
forward now to some great summer flying and hopefully my
commercial practical."
