Thanks for the tip about the gliders out of Corowa and interesting thing to watch on a good gliding day if I am desk bound

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Ingo Renner, Awesomeness Ingo used to fly his Kingfisher (later DDSC K7) like it was Arcus for sure. While I think of it 2 good apps etc is RAIN (BOM -direct to radar in 3 seconds) and Flightradar24 (the $2.99 Pro version gives you everything) where you will see PH registered (Dutch) gliders flying out of Corowa doing their triangle task. Obviously they have Power Flarm and is actually real time almost so even better than spot. Interesting Qantas Link Dash8 do not have ADSB but most of REX do.

You've probably all heard of 'Chuck Norris' jokes, well the juniors have made Ingo Renner the Chuck Norris of gliding - the first one is my favourite. Here's what we all came up with, enjoy! Ingo Renners alitude is always set to 00.00 HG. Ingo Renner is never under pressure. Ingo Renner has never been set a task. "task" implies there is a challenge. Ingo Renner can out drink Michael Sommer... And fly further the next day When Ingo Renner says "nice cirrus" he is refering to the type cloud he has thermalled to the base of When Ingo Renner thermals, his glider doesn't climb, he moves the earth down. Ingo Renner doesn't request clearance, Ingo Renner states intentions. Ingo Renner never lands in a cross wind. The wind would never dare to cross Ingo Renner. Ingo Renner was told to ident, so the controller was greeted with a fist coming out of his radar screen. Ingo Renner was once denied a clearance... once. Ingo Renner doesn't shoot approaches, he kills them! Ingo Renner always declares a task... one month in advance Ingo Renner can taste thermals before he feels them Spot tracker is yet to spot or track Ingo Renner Hijackers squawk 7500 when Ingo Renner is on board. Ingo renner does not release, the tug runs away scared. Ingo renners discus was custom made without ailerons, he chooses to climb straight ahead. Ingo renner does not understand the term "netto". All he sees is 10knots up. The term "Polar" comes from the way Ingo Renner flies, Ice cold. Ingo Renner does not do annual checks, instructors are privileged to learn from him. Ingo Renner once did a form 2 on a KA6. The result is called a Quintus. Ingo Renner doesn't buy winglets, he just stares down a wingtip until they grow. Ingo Renner once thought he outlanded. Then realized he was just home. First. Again. They once thought Ingo Renner came back for a relight.. They didn't realise he had already finished the task. Hi. I'm Ingo. That is all. Ingo Renner once flew The space shuttle, from a winch launch, around an FAI 1000km triangle. Ingo Renner doesn't follow Cu, Cu follow Ingo Renner Ingo Renner is always on final glide. Ingo Renner doesn't fly standard class, Ingo Renner flies awesome class. Ingo Renner needs a bigger continent to truly "max it out". Ingo Renner once flew a 1000km FAI Triangle in Europe, and never left the country he started in. That country was Vatican City. The hardest thing about setting a record is coming up with something Ingo Renner hasn't done yet. Ingo Renner doesn't fly McCready, Ingo Renner flies VNe Ingo Renner rigged a blanik in 5 minutes. Ingo Renner doesn't need an undercarriage... Ingo Renner doesn't tape his glider because all they have is thousand mile an hour tape. Ingo Renner knows what every single knob, lever and handle in a kestrel does. Ingo Rennet dosent land after last light, the sun dosent set on Ingo Renner... Cat E circling approaches were invented for Ingo Renner Ingo Renner can thermal a PIK. In the rain. Ingo Renner doesn't need a pink shirt and cravat (Sunship game, Gleb) Ingo Renner dosent need to do a circuit - the runways align for Ingo Renner Ingo Renner doesn't find thermals, he looks at the ground till one appears Ingo Renners variometer doesn't have negative values. The air never dares to sink on Ingo Renner's path. Ingo's only question about the weather, is wether or not to do 1000 or 1500 On a blue day Ingo is his own trigger source Ingo doesn't need an aerotow, he just winds his altimeter up "Keepit traffic, Ingo Renner is 400 mi to the SE inbound, 500 ft, final glide. keepit..." _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
