  Project FAQ

Timely open international discussion on  Otto Meet 1971 Project at US Hawks   

 
  What is the May 12, 2010, status of the meaning of "sponsorship" for orgs, press, groups, and individuals?

Morning BobK,
          Meet Neil Larson, first SCHGA historian official ...way back when! The Plaque Project is in its second round; the first round had a big quiet space of time between it and this second round. Neil was #24 where I was #5 in earliest org.

Neil,
Meet BobK, founder and president of Torrey Hawks, ...and about the best regional director USHPA has seen, Region 3, recently moved a bit by a PG block, but without slowing BobK from a great welcome spirit at Torrey airs. Like Jack Lambie, BobK is a four-winging birdman.

BobK,
The sponsorship deal is in fuzzy stage; it will ever be voluntary in form and quantity. Listing consent is all that is needed now. So much is in rough planning stage at the moment. Torrey Hawks and individuals can get in early on the listing. Just consent to the direction, idea, without any legal obligation. Budget and costs are not known; no listed sponsor will be obligated for even a penny. No funds have been collected. Neil and I have been investing time. Neil has a certain set of communications, contact, and graphic skills and experiences with landmark political processes. I have a deep heart into hang glider publishing. Others will have their skills and inputs that will matter. To Dos are being generated as we speak. Neil WAS THERE with the greatest of enthusiasm and is main tease for getting things done on the Plaque Project.

In first blush, Neil has mentioned that contributing sponsors will have some presence on documents in the Virtual Plaque and unseen-yet presence on physical landmark plaque. We are yet flying in the manner done at that first great universal meeting on the hill in Newport Beach.

Neil may write more on these matters soon, after some days pass, as he is booked with getting people's pools ready in Florida at a terrific rate of 10 pools per day. I told Neil last week about your generous Falcon 3 use for pilots bringing their harness and helmet for Second Sundays at Torrey.

Permitting oneself to be listed is a definite first-stage contribution, for down the line signed petitioning to State of California/ U.S. Government will be part of the physical landmark process.

Soon,
JoeF


What is the difference between the Virtual Plaque and the target of a physical Landmark Plaque or monument and plaque?

The Virtual Plaque for the Otto Meet 1971 is actual and being built as we type and present and as interested parties present stories, images, notes, and links. You are looking at the Virtual Plaque in the making. The Virtual Plaque will continue to grow over time; each input will grow the Virtual Plaque.  The Virtual Plaque will be available to any person on earth that has reach to the Internet. Anyone is invited to add personal aviation color to the Virtual Plaque. That Otto Lilienthal's gift was punctuated into a renaissance of foot-launch personal aviation by a world-resounding blast party on the hill in Newport Beach has proven to affect the entire world; aviation has been severely altered by the radiance from the Otto Meet 1971 party.

The target of a physical monument/plaque will involve petitioning political entities that must permit placement of materials on public land. This process will certainly be forwarded by a robust Virtual Plaque. Even if approvals are not obtained on wished time, a virtual celebration of the eventual landmark can be celebrated.  Political processes might be slow.  At least photographs of a hand-held situation could be taken; such would forward the eventual success for the hardcore California/National landmark. Expertise on these matters is not yet ours.  Each formal step will be chronicled in the Virtual Plaque pages.


What is it?
The project is set to achieve two things in support of the mission to advance hang gliding in the world:

1.  Web virtual recognition for the site and involved persons of the first great universal hang gliding meet in 1971 that honored Otto Lilienthal and personal aviation.

2.  To get a California or Federal landmark at the hill site of the meet commemorating the birth of the renaissance of foot-launch hang gliding.

That Otto Meet has been giving lift to thousands of persons, businesses, and organizations; we aim to get to a robust virtual plaque and attain installation of a physical landmark plaque.


What are the coordinates of the site for the Otto Meet 1971?

What is OML
OML  is the short symbol for "Otto-Meet-1971 Lift"    Radiating from the Otto Meet 1971 was a spectrum of heated energetic enthusiasms that can be understood as a thermic lift used to extend uplifting flight in people, organizations, events, documents, conversations, and decisions. Tracing OML is part of this Otto Meet Virtual Plaque project.
