Nicely produced YouTube video
Tuno
and the Tucson Soaring Club.
I especially like "the orgasm at the end of the flight"!

Just shows what you can do with a professional camera crew and editors
who know how to tell a story.
TUSC goes from strength to strength with increasing membership,
several recent private ship acquisitions by members and a growing
cross-country group. The Open Day featured in the video definitely
helped.
The weather station at El Tiro Gliderport is back on line too, so you
folks back east can check out our 70-degree weather. There were
thermals today too!

degree F at 1700 in November! No thank you - too damn hot! I'm sure
August is absolutely, positively outrageous...

Ah, but when it's 110 on the ground, it's nice and cool at cloudbase
over the Canyon...

Hmmm,
When I'm sweating in my Grob Solar Sauna, I just remind myself that
lots of people spend good money at "Health Clubs" to sit in a 180
degree room with a bunch of nearly naked fat guys. Then I climb to
17k, chill out, and enjoy the view.

Excellent work! Can you tell me "how" you are using this video? Was it
shown on local TV to help recruit new club members? Also, in addition
to it being available for viewing on youtube, is it being distributed
in some other fashion to get the "word" out?
Thanks - Renny

I will have to rely on someone from within the Tucson club to answer
your question. I know it was shot as part of an open house weekend
they had a month or so ago, and by all accounts it was a home run.

I've lived in southern Arizona all but one year since 1990 and never
saw it at or near 110 in Tucson in any month of the year. The average
high in November is only 72, and the highest average high temp is 100
in June!

The weather station failed due to water damage in a thunderstorm and
the temperature defaulted to a constant 109.6 degrees late last
summer. I just got it back online with new hardware and am working to
update the webcams. I did see the temperature over 100 degrees a few
times last summer, but it never made 110. Anyway, we have a couple of
good antidotes - if you're flying, get high and stay high, if you're
on the ground, apply cold beer!

After a little digging, it appears to be a production of Tucson city
channel 12. Randy Acree believes it may be broadcast in the future,
but it also appears to have been posted to youtube by the station.

Frank,
Roger! Thanks for the "digging" and info!

can be done with a little effort and promotion. Local media is hungry
for these type of stories. Do nothing and only the occasional crash
makes the news....
So go forth and "make news"!

Yes indeed, Tucson Channel 12 spent considerable time at El Tiro
taking footage of the open day and broadcast this segment on air
locally. They interviewed a bunch of TUSC guys as part of the
program, but the final product built the story around our own
Smolderator. I thought it made a nice story and tied things together
very well.
It's hard to know how much good the Open Day and TV coverage did for
the club. A couple of former members have rejoined as a result of the
publicity and we have several more newbies, so it's possible we
acquired up to 5 new members. It's also not bad to show our landlord
(the BLM) that our club is appreciated by the local community.
Region 9 South will be held at El Tiro in May this year - a really
nice time - warm enough for thermals but not too hot, so come see for
yourselves.
