| Hey Tony...that was an excellent all weather glider bag u made for my t2. it fit perfect and protected my glider in Arizona in the parking lot of the Franciso Grande resort for three weeks in the blazing sun when i was at work in alaska, then again on roadtrips to texas and on to lakeview and back to miami all in 2008. I sold the t2, then i sold the bag in almost new condition to NMErider. i think he likes it.

I thought mine was beat to hell. I could at lest read the paragliding mag if I choose too  . Oh ya, Its the same zip code and mine, I wonder if a complaint is in order, well if it were a hang gliding issue?

Come on boys - let's nip the complaining.
I like the all PG gallery this month - they are solid shots with wicked cool backgrounds. Remember last month was 11 pages of HG gallery - gotta be equitable.
I dig the magazine in PDF format on the USHPA website - go to the members only section. It's out in a timely fashion and if you have your jones on or the new mag, you don't have to wait for it in the mail. There's also no mailing label on the front cover.
Sorry your mag got hammered Gregg - check out the PDF version on the website and call USHPA to have them send you another copy.
I think the mag is hurting for content like always - get out, take photos of your adventure, and write something up.
Cheers,
OB

Mine was delivered, too, and is in amazingly immaculate condition.
Wanna trade?

PS - Don't complain too loudly or they'll send you a new copy!

Guess I'll email them and ask if I can get another copy. Might as well get my membership worth.
Any idea who to contact? Office Manager, Editor, or Secretary?
I wonder how the P.O. knew it was HG & P mag if that was the only piece left of it.

Because the rest of it is reading material in the post office bathroom.

Campers,
Suspicions confirmed!
I overheard some mailmen talking in the restaurant once, and one of them was saying "Yeah, they had trash-cans in front of their mailbox, so I could not drive up to the mailbox. They just didn't get any mail, today. That 'rain or snow or dark of night' bit never said nothing about trash-cans."

About 3,000 of us send in an extra $10 bucks a year so that they will send the Larry Craig embosed seat covers printed on Idaho potato skins shaped like paragliders to Noman each month during that special time.
