Prayers up for this upstanding guy. Worthy project and he is probably distinguished in his own right.
I’ve spent some time in “gliders” (sailplanes) out of Mojave and Cal City. One of the best spots in the nation to fly. Up lifts on the backside of the Sierras allows long cross country flights.

Me too. North of the San Gabriels. Towed aloft several times by a Pawnee.
S, ring any bells?
