We hope to exceed our arbitrary $5,000 goal. I'm certain that we will. We certainly are not going to stop there as the Rainbow Room has more needs than what we can meet.

Homer⁣ flies tandem

Homer

D'oh!

Homer Simpson|Martin Jaeger|USHPA

Hey, I'm a Simpsons' character!! I received this rather unique birthday gift recently and thought I'd share.

(IMAGE)

It was given to me by a client and close friend with whom I work. She's a commercial TV producer / director, and as it happens, buddies with Simpsons' TV series artist Phil Ortiz. Figuring I must be pretty into it (from years of having to endure my hang gliding stories) and knowing I'm a Simpsons' fan, she somehow managed to get me this "tandem flight" with Homer himself for my birthday! I was stunned…

It is so weird to see oneself as a Simpsons' character (I'm the one in the turtleneck sweater and scraggly goatee!) Homer looks pretty excited with his hair all blowing in the wind eh. Looks to be a WW Super Swallowtail circa 1975 we're flying.

The bird diving through the sail is a reference to another passion of mine, it's suppose to be a peregrine falcon. Anyway, thought you might get a kick out of seeing my new flying buddy! Don't tell Marge and the kids, or the USHPA, but I'm not tandem rated… Doh!

Autonomous Soaring

Soaring

Can the robot soar?

Martin Jaeger|record

Martin Jaeger sent this link.

Dan Edwards a student at NC State University, is attempting to break two records by creating an autonomous glider. The project goal is a 142 mile cross country flight and a 25 mile flight with return flight without human intervention. The glider finds thermal updrafts and automatically circles them to gain altitude, much like birds and insects do.
