After the spring 2006 USHPA BOD meeting I was tasked with the job of organizing

Right after Rob Kells at Wills Wing announced their Blue Sky Scooter Tow Clinics
the requests started coming in, especially from European instructors. Wills Wing
is encouraging all their dealers to come to these clinics so it would be good if
you signed up early.
I heard from Rob that he's thinking about requiring...

When the shuttle got near the top, Mike Meier on a Wills Wing T2 and Rob
