I took part in ISC 2003 as a member of the Finnish delegation and all I can say is that you'll probably have the best week ever. I had so great time there.

The Finnish delegation has been chosen but I have found no information about the chosen ones...

It's almost two weeks from the end of the camp and I have finally made my way back to home after over a week of travelling in the States. I already miss all the ISC participants and the great international feeling of the camp. It was once in a life time experience which I'll never forget. The counse...

No international contacts, but I am coming this Friday! The trip takes about 20 hours without missed flights, technical problems or hijacks. The only problem is that I have to pack all the clothes and other things to a 55 litre backpack. I can't take any suitcases, becouse it would limit my mobility...

Your uncle has done a great job stargazer. I honor those who have used great amount of time and money to get the old planes fixed and flying. It's a totally different thing to see a plane flying and hear the great radial engine sound compared to the quiet planes in the museums. Does the planes happe...

The US Navy/Marines version of the Brewster was too heavy. The American pilots didn't like it. The already manufactured planes were sold to Finns during Winter War. Extra armor plates and other useless equipment were removed, which gave the planes very good handling characteristics. Sadly the planes...

Benji: You should check the US Hang-gliding associations web site http://www.ushga.org . There are lots of hang-gliding clubs in Florida. Becouse of the flat terrain in Florida there may be no foot launch sites, but aero towing is a very good option. It means that hang-glider is towed behind a micro...

I have also flown few hours in a Cessna. Local aviation club helps the finnish forest administration by searching forest fires when the weather is hot and I have been one of the observers on those flights. Personally I prefer unmotored flying. Nothing beats the feeling when you find a thermal and ri...

Only one hit so far. This site might be hard to find, but the number of enthusiastic participants is over 100 plus the Americans. I am little surprised that only me and Space Nerd have found the forum. I found it after half an hour search. Have you tried to get a link from the official site? BTW doe...

International Space Camp 2003

I was searching the web for Space Camp sites and found this one. I am another of the two finnish students selected for ISC 2003 and it would be great to exchange some thoughts about the coming camp with other participants. There are lots of good reports from the earlier camps in the web which give s...
