Because of AC's current financial situation, Horizons have decided to no
longer print Horizons.
Effective April 30, 2003, Horizons will change its name to New Horizons, and
become an online publication only.
It will be available at www.achorizons.ca coming out twice a month, on the 15th
and 30th.
New Horizons will be published as a PDF file, which means you can print it out
on your printer in 8.5x11 format. Each issue will likely be 6 or 7 pages long.
Memoriams, retirements, anniversaries and the bulletin board will not be in the
publication, but will continue to be published at www.achorizons.ca under a
separate heading.
Refund --- All those who have already sent their money to Harling for the
coming
year will get a refund of ten dollars.

. Found on the internet.
The Wright brothers overcame some pretty incredible obstacles to get their
planes in the air but they never came up against anything like the TSA. Ken
Hyde, of The Wright Experience, discovered this week that the Virginia airstrip
where he plans to test-fly his replica of the first airplane capable of
sustained and controlled flight is within the Washington air defense
identification zone. And since the Wrights didn't invent two-way radio
communication or transponders -- much less file a flight plan for 106 feet --
Hyde will be deemed a national security threat if he proceeds with his testing
without those modern accoutrements. While the Wrights grappled with the forces
of nature, it will likely be political pressure that will help Hyde's dream
come true.
