There has been a big change, as you can see. The usppa has decided to begin a magazine of their own. We wish them well, and rather than compete with them, we have removed the section that was more specific to the powered paraglider crowd. We will still be covering the powered parachutes, of course. But this does make the magazine smaller than you’ve become accustomed to. As this is the final issue of 2021, we are doing a wrap-up of the events from the last half of this year. I attended four of these, and while I did take lots of pictures, I was fortunate enough to be able to get others to do the writing. So, in order of the events as they happened, we have first Mike Hudetz reporting on TrikeFest, held in Rochelle, Illinois, this past July. This was the first time that I was able to attend this one! Mike has the date set for next year, too. Moving on, Stephanie Gremminger has a report on the annual pra convention in Mentone, Indiana. Bad weather kept a lot of people away, but plans are in train for a big bash for the 60th anniversary event next year! Next on the calendar was the Midwest lsa Expo in Mt. Vernon, Illinois, which Dan Johnson has covered for us. I attend this one every year, and it never disappoints! Another first for me was the Zenith Homecoming in Mexico, Missouri. Sebastien Heintz has written the coverage of that event. They had some glorious weather and a lot of planes that flew in! I wasn’t able to attend the DeLand Sport Aviation Showcase, but Roy did, and he’s got some information on that event for you – mainly, the talk that Dan Johnson gave to update the proposed mosaic from faa. My congratulations, as well, to both Dan and Roy, who were inducted into the eaa Ultralight Hall of Fame. You can read about that in this issue, too! If you’ve got questions on the proper use of a radio while you fly, Roy’s Top Ten list covers that for you. As always, we also have press releases, the Calendar, and advertisers for you to look at. I would like to close out this year with a wish from me and Moral Support Canine Alec for a safe, happy, and fun 2022 for you all. Hope to see you next year at any of the events that we’re able to attend! Editorial
