		<description><![CDATA[Strong, sometimes warm winter winds down in the LA basin have a peculiar cause.   As a brisk, perhaps even chilly breeze in the Antelope Valley flows over the mountains and down toward sea level the air is heated by compression.   That causes it to expand and accelerate, making the wind much stronger down below than up here where [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[     A common error is banking away from slopes while in straight flight, whether due to anxiety or visual misperceptions.   When horizons are low on one side and high on the other, many pilots will inadvertently level their wings with the ‘apparent’ horizon ahead, even far from terrain.   In running a ridge approximately perpendicular to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week Kevin Mather, a paraplegic, made his first solo flight here.   Kevin possessed the necessary skills months ago, but had to wait for the arrival of our new ASK-21s with optional hand rudder controls.    Congratulations Kevin &#8211; FINALLY!       Also, this past Thursday we hosted fifteen recovering soldiers returned from Iraq &#8211; thanks to many volunteers for [...]]]></description>
