Hi All, Found the quote below on rec.aviation.soaring
Many have probably just heard the news that Dr. Paul MacCready passed away in his sleep yesterday. Paul was a renowned innovator, founder of AeroVironment, and a key soaring figure. He is known as the "father of human-powered flight", and just this month we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Gossamer Condor's record-setting flight. He participated almost every year in the Experimental Soaring Association's Western Workshop here in Tehachapi, and he and his son, Tyler had already RSVPed for this weekend's event. He challenged us all to do more with less, to innovate and to tackle new opportunities. How we shall miss him. Sad news Dave If computers get too powerful, we'll organize them into a committee. That will do them in. _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
