[Aus-soaring] Storm Chasers

2004-01-21 Thread Leigh Bunting 
Been quiet on the list lately, you might like to check out what some 
other Australians do in their idle moments - giving us some rather 
spectacular pictures of things that happen in our chosen recreational 
environment:

Brisbane Storm Chasers 

AUSTRALIAN SKY & WEATHER incorporating Melbourne Storm Chasers 


or see what happens when all the noise stops in a 747, in the dark, over 
the ocean:

I've never understood the point of this. My driving instructor isn't
responsible for any stupidity on my behalf once I have a car license.
The same goes for a number of other licenses (boat, RAA etc)  I hold.
Why is there seemingly no stage in between 'gliding student' and
'gliding instructor'?

Admittedly this only makes a real difference with privately owned
gliders / motorgliders. If you're flying a club glider obviously the
club can impose whatever conditions they want.

Cheers,

Al

Hi Rob, 

I too have suitable sight, as long as I am wearing corrective lens!

Seriously, as Laurie points out what Ben Quinn wants is a donation from you.
This will give you voting rights too - the bigger the donation the more
votes you get. [The very essence of the Capitalist System in a nutshell.]

Potential suitable sites, are apparently more or less "a dime a dozen", at
this point in time,  but if Ben can get the funding, there is probably no
reason why your site could not eventually get up, if it meets the
(unstated?),  criteria. Remember the more you give the more voting rights
you have, regarding site selection. A big enough donation may allow you
enough votes to jump the queue and get YOUR site up and running first.  BTW
the idea is for YOU to contact him, not vice versa!

 

Cheers,

Gary
