Cool
Just some trivia - did you know I'm responsible for the OFITTH
acronym? (Well actually my power instructor is).
Years ago when I did my PPL, I had an instructor named Jonathon who
was also a hang glider pilot. This meant that the power lesson
sometimes got abandoned when there were particularly good thermals ;)
At other times there was a lot of rivalry between the two soaring
disciplines.
Anyway when talking about gliding to him during one flight, his
response was "Oh you guys are just a bunch of Old Farts in Terry
Towelling Hats".
I thought it was so funny, I told Emilis and others about it when I
got back......

Hi all!
As some of you may remember, late last year a group of dedicated
junior pilots formed the Australian Junior Gliding Club, with the
intention of bringing young pilots from around the country together
and promote our sport amongst Australian youth. We are gathering
speed quickly, and as a club we now own an L-13 Blanik which has
seen action down at last year's JoeyGlide and various other places
around the country. Our website is here, please feel free to have a
look.
We are raising money to fund our club and bring more young people
into the sport, and as a result we are selling an iconic piece of
Australian gliding garb - the one and only Terry Towelling Hat!
The days of the Terry Towelling hat are back, but in strictly
limited supply. First in, best dressed (literally!).
The Australian Junior Gliding Club is selling these hats to raise
funds for the advancement and promotion of Junior Gliding in
Australia. They are $25, with $5 postage, and If nothing else, this
is a way to directly support the next generation of pilots so that
they can bring more into our sport. Wear this one with pride!
To order, please follow this link
Please note that membership to the club is open to all people of any
age. Any non-junior (i.e.26 or over) member that joins up will
receive a free Terry Towelling hat as a way of saying thankyou for
your support and welcome.
Cheers,
Gus Stewart
Treasurer
Australian Junior Gliding Club
