It is always something, the flu this time. Down for two weeks with the worst flu I ever had. Recovering from that was well worth it however when EAA691 Chap. President Jeff Scott flew down from Los Alamos in his J-3 Cub built from scratch and took me out flying. Thank you Jeff, great fun and a great way to start the year. Logged 0.8 hours KSAF to KSAF as I was allowed to take the controls and fly from the Santa Fe city limits to nearly Ghost Ranch and back again. Terrific orientation flight seeing Little Black Mesa, Big Black Mesa, Rio Grande River(with ice), Los Alamos, Espanola, Ghost Ranch and the majestic Sangre De Christos Mountains with snow as far as Taos.
History Occupation After rule by the Ottoman Empire ended there in World War I (1914–18), the Gaza area became part of the League of Nations mandate of Palestine under British rule. Before this mandate ended, the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) in November 1947 accepted a plan for the Arab-Jewish partition of Palestine under which the town of Gaza and an area of surrounding territory were to be allotted to the Arabs. The British mandate ended on May 15, 1948, and on that same day the first Arab-Israeli war began. Egyptian forces soon entered the town of Gaza, which became the headquarters of the Egyptian expeditionary force in Palestine. As a result of heavy fighting in autumn 1948, the area around the town under Arab occupation was reduced to a strip of territory 25 miles (40 km) long and 4–5 miles (6–8 km) wide. This area became known as the Gaza Strip. Its boundaries were demarcated in the Egyptian-Israeli armistice agreement of February 24, 1949. Are you a student?...
