Visiting Pilot, Wed. April 1

[nikolai]

No, this is not an April Fools' joke, eh?

I'm planning a short 5 day pg-ing trip in the Southern California area, arriving at LAX at 9:30 AM on Wednesday from Vancouver, BC.

'Just wondering if anyone is available to fly with Wed, Thurs, Fri? I've never flown the Santa Barbara area and am excited about checking it out ... and I'm always keen to meet local pilots!

I'm a USHPA P3 with a fair bit of coastal soaring experience (Torrey, but mostly Okinawa, Japan - 'published an article in the USHGA mag in Dec '05 on flying there ...). I've got some pg-ing pics and vids on my personal homepage is anyone is interested in checking them out (http://www.bound2leap.com).

I have a rental car and can scoot up to Santa Barbara pretty quickly after picking it up at LAX. My email address is w_nikolaiATyahoo.com.

Thanks!

Bill Nikolai.
