The news poster at CU seems to be dead...I posted this a few days ago
and it never seemed to show up, so I am reposting it from this computer.
If you have seen this twice, please let me know.  In fact, if you see this
at all I would like to hear from you (this may be e-mail suicide) :^)

In the past I have seen requests for a list of good sources related to
mountain flying.  I went to a seminar on that subject last week and we were
given the following list.  I did not compile any of this list, and I am
only familiar with two of the enteries on the list.  "Mountain Flying" by
Sparky Imeson is excellent and the article "Crash Course" is good as
well--I may be biased on this one, however, since Bob Rossier is my flight
instructor. :^)  Hope this helps...and even more to the point, I hope this
is posted in the right place. :^)
