InsideSoaring.com Episode 3 - We are back after a little absence due to Spring Break. The weather in Colorado is oscillating back and forth between warm days and snow storms, so we are still in early season mode. There is plenty to do to get ready for the coming season. We also discuss transponders in light of the NTSB findings of the Biz jet / sailplane mid-air that occurred near Minden, NV.

Errata: We said the repack interval for emergency parachutes was 90 days with a proposed change to 120 days. Actually the repack interval is currently 120 days with a proposed change to 180 days.
