This presentation is highly recommended if you are planning to attend the BASA Wave Camp, the Air Sailing Thermaling Camp or Cross-Country Camp, fly at Truckee in the summer, or just take some long flights out of Hollister this spring.
Just a quick note to belatedly announce that the February Bugle and March Bugle are available (and have been for a week or so on the newsletter page).
