So Cal XC League

Dean S — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 23:28:33 -0500

I’m FINALLY putting the wheels in motion for the Southern California XC League and I think it’s long overdue. Everyone has been talking about wanting a league – so here it is. The Northern California XC League has been, and continues to be, a huge success. The system works extremely easy and efficiently. I will be using the same format as the NCXCL with just a few exceptions. The league is open to both PG’s and HG’s and will be broken down into categories. The league is starting late this year so it will be abbreviated as compared to the plan for 2009. This will work well to get the ball rolling, spread the word, and work out any kinks before the league goes into full swing in 2009.

Two new site records

Southside — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 13:11:46 -0500

Bruce Barmakian broke the RW site record with a flight to Lone Pine (168 miles) yesterday.

And on a side note the rather paltry FW record fell as well (80 miles to Johannesberg). Btw, the flight was done on the Fusion SP that is for sale in the market place section - no interest financing available :-)

And in case you are wondering we called Joshua Approach beforehand for clearance to fly up 395.

Qualified pilots are invited to join us on the Winds of a Hurricane Seventh Annual Fly-in. To be held on Independence Day weekend (July 1-4 Sat-Tue), last year 27 of the USA’s finest got high (14K) and went far (80 miles) in pure recreational flying. We always have a blast! Many pilots have made the trip 6 times. Most of the pilots are from Sylmar’s SHGA and Crestline’s CSS.
