Safety Briefing

Speaker: Ron Ridenour

Synopsis: Ron Ridenour will give us a Safety Talk at the beginning of the new flying season. Ron will share his wisdom, as he has done before with many organizations, about how to be safe when you are flying or soaring. He will reflect on what we can learn from the above average number of accidents - too many of them fatal - that our sport had to record during the 2011 season. Ron is an FAA Examiner and has made a living for many years now as a United Captain flying Boeing 757 airplanes. He is also a very active competition glider pilot and owns a warbird. Ron writes regular columns in "Soaring" magazine as the Trustee for the Soaring Safety Foundation.
