[Wot2025] WoT Mailing List Starter

[Piet Barber]

I've set up this Week of Training Mailing list for all participants who
have signed up.

wot2025 at skylinesoaring.org

Please use this mailing list for discussing planning for the WoT.  Please
don't send email to members at skylinesoaring.org for this content.   *Please
reply-all if you have something useful to share.*  If you just respond to
me, your awesome idea might get lost.

Please refer to the WoT Bible on the WoT website. I've updated it with the
latest information, and it's a constantly-evolving document.

Piet's concerns and thoughts, no particular order:

   - I have a feeling that we are short a few trailer hitches
   - Chris Norris isn't going to be at this WoT, his job very rudely
   ignored his vacation request.  This is a problem because he's a ferry pilot
   for one of the two seat gliders.  That means I need a very-qualified pilot
   to ferry the other glider over from FRR to W99 and I need a ferry pilot
   from W99 back to FRR.  (Chris Carswell?  Chris Zaboji?)
   - I don't think we have a trailer suitable for transporting the Gator
   and all the crap that we usually bring to W99.  I suppose we could rent a
   nice UHaul trailer, or maybe Shane could score one.
   - If we can't find a UHaul trailer big enough for the Gator, maybe we
   don't need the Gator after all.  We've always had a Gator for towing
   gliders around, and sometimes a glider lands short on the grass runway, and
   there's not enough manpower to push that glider back to the starting
   point.
   - At present, it doesn't seem like we have enough interest for the
   Discii to go to W99. Rob Jacobsen? Is this true?
   - We've never aerotowed the PW-5 over, but I don't see why not.  Seems
   easier than tearing it down and putting it into a trailer, especially since
   I'm short a few trailer hitches for this WoT.
   - If your vehicle has a trailer hitch and you didn't indicate it on the
   WoT Application, please let me know right away!
   - If you don't have a trailer hitch, but you do have a roomy SUV and you
   don't mind driving the ferry pilots, I could really use you as the
   ferry-pilot-migrator. Please volunteer!  This means you drive to W99 on
   Sunday evening, wait for us to ferry over, the ferry pilots get into your
   SUV, and you drive back to FRR.  Then you have to drive back to W99 again.
