I spoke to Tom Anderson at Sugarbush last month and initially he seemed opened to us coming down in October... The Gatineau Gliding Club ( https://www.gatineauglidingclub.ca/ ) Events page states: - Annual Lake Placid Wave & Mountain Flying Camp: Oct. 12 to Oct. 20 2024 so perhaps there is the ...

The trail of blue foam bits in the bilge stretched from the base of the stick back to below the spar (both points have a solid bulkhead which probably stopped furth...

Our weather station has a live tracking screen. Does our agreement with NemoWX provide access to historical data?
There has also been some 737's go over low enough you can recognize the branding on the aircraft.
