DIABLO - 101        04/29/06

Introducing a Seminar for the Advanced or Advancing WOR Pilot


(Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Devil)

Saturday - April 29, 2006 - Mount Diablo State Park - Walnut Creek
Presented by the Diablo Team

In this seminar (actually, just another excuse to party) you will have the opportunity to:

  1. FLY!!! The best mountain soaring site in the Bay Area is the classroom, and we will use it completely.
  2. LEARN the ancient secrets of veteran Diablo Team pilots in determining how, when, and where to launch.
  3. VISIT the many and diverse LZ’s this site has to offer.
  4. DISCOVER the nearly-lost art of getting your vehicle off the mountain, including maps and methods.
  5. REJOICE in the discovery, or rediscovery, of this vast, untapped resource we WOR pilots have in our own back yard. (Self-kicking for not flying Diablo sooner is optional)

CLASS SIZE IS LIMITED
This course is limited to 20 Advanced WOR pilots who will actually fly during the course. Intermediate WOR pilots, or interested others, are invited to attend and discover what awaits them upon achieving an Advanced rating. Site Guides and Maps will be issued to all paid participants. Drivers are especially welcome, and can register free of charge.

PARTICIPATION FEE
A $10 fee covers registration and materials costs. The balance will be donated to WOR.

TO REGISTER
Please contact Robert Moore, Diablo Site Committee Chairman for registration and availability. Registration will be accepted until Wednesday, April 17, or until all Flying Participant positions are filled. Course materials will be handed out on the day of the seminar. In case of rainout, the next day (Sunday) will be used. Flying Participants must be current WOR club members, and Advanced rated pilots.
