Hey @Kitty_Killa and @Hazel Silver, I'm in Mr. Lu's flying class, and it's super chill. On Wednesdays we meet in the apple orchard and he's teaching us short hops. So far it's more like taking really big jumps than actually flying. And you get to be outside. Bring a lunch!

Intramural Flying Club

Hi. Randy Bernstein. Psyhigh student and amateur flying enthusiast.

A great way to get to know campus - and other students - is at our weekly flying club, each Saturday in the apple orchard. We meet at 11am and take short flights around campus. Levitation II certification is required.

Bring a lunch and dress for the weather. Scarves and goggles suggested.

This week we'd like to welcome @Midori Thirteen Desu, @Amelie Jones, @Kitty_Killa, @Hazel Silver, their friends, more, and you!

See you on Saturday,

Randy B.
Levitation Level IX Raptor Scout

In association with the APSA. And thanks to @i am the champ.

Regrettably @Nobody, the Intramural Flying Club is not scheduling formal meetups at this time. We had scheduling conflicts with the Remote Viewing Falconry Club and things got rather heated. When we both attempted to occupy the airspace over the apple orchard it resulted in many of our members being severely pecked and clawed. When we tried moving our meeting to Sundays, we found the Remote Viewing Falconry Club was claiming that time too, and any other time and any other space on campus!

We have appealed to the Dean's council, and I know @i am the champ is advocating for us. In the meantime, we are only flying unscheduled raids on Remote Viewing Falconry Club facilities like perches and mews. Levitation level VII is required, and we will contact members quietly in order to maintain secrecy.

As for invisibility, it is potentially a hazard when we're in the air. Generally, we ask invisible members to wear reflector suits at all times when flying on campus. When we want to be seen, that is.

Intramural Flying Club is flying again!

We've negotiated a settlement with the Remote Viewing Falconry Club, and Intramural Flying Club is up and running once more.

Let's all meet up at the apple orchard at 11am tomorrow (Saturday) and take a quick flight around campus - just to get our bearings and blow out the cobwebs. Levitation II certification is required.

Thanks to @i am the champ and the Dean for helping get back in the air.

Intramural Flying Club is safe and sound!

We had a really great turn out today, and it was so wonderful to be up there in the great wild blue again. The endless horizon... the freedom! That's partially why we got mesmerized by those geese and took a wrong turn and caught an unexpected boost from a ley line and ended up in Manitoba.

We're at the Super 8 in Morden for the night. Thanks to @i am the champ for letting us use the APSA credit card to get everybody rooms, and dinner at the King Ho Chinese restaurant - which really hit the spot after a long day of flying. And we'll likely stop by the Tim Hortons in the morning before we take off.

I'm happy to report that all members of our party came dressed appropriately. People think our leathers are just affectation, but you can see how they can save your life when you're at high altitude cruising speed for an extended length of time. They don't call it the "wild" blue for nothing!

Hopefully we'll be able to do that ley line trick on the way back - or this is going to be a long trip.

Intramural Flying Club Special Guest Event

Hi everybody. We're thrilled to announce we'll have a very special guest at tomorrow's Intramural Flying Club: seven-time world champion free flyer and winner of both the Bendix Trophy and the Thompson Cup - Howard "Howie" Mulligan.

I've been a big fan of Howie all my life - I've still got his poster up on the wall of my dorm - so it's going to be a huge honor to have him here with us.

We're meeting at the usual time and place - 11am in the apple orchard. Bring a lunch, wear appropriate clothing, and we'll all enjoy a bit of an in-air seminar from one of the greats.

Hope to see you there!

I'd like to apologize to all the members of the Intramural Flying Club -- and to all the students of Psyhigh -- for the actions of Howard "Howie" Mulligan this afternoon.

This is especially difficult as Mr. Mulligan has been a lifelong idol of mine. Certainly, he is quite old, and may in fact be suffering from some kind of dementia, but the way that he interacted with the female members of the club was entirely inappropriate. As was relieving himself while flying over the school. I have personally apologized to the students impacted, and have cleaned up all that I could find.

Mr. Mulligan's historical significance should not be overshadowed by his behavior today. Setting the transatlantic records that he did during the 60's and his amazing high speed maneuverability techniques transformed the world of free flying in the 20th century. Let's not let his thoroughly inexcusable actions at Psyhigh sully his amazing legacy.

Thanks @Big Jim, that's right! The Intramural Flying Club is meeting 11am Saturday morning in the apple orchard. All new students are welcome - we'll be keeping it at tree-top level so no fancy flying will be required.

As for the weather, it's been alternately sunny, freezing cold, or pouring down rain, so come dressed for the full spectrum of possible meteorological disturbances.

See you tomorrow!

Micro-Cyclone Update

We'd like to thank everybody who turned out for Intramural Flying Club earlier today, and we're sure the students who are still missing will be located very soon.

It started as a beautiful morning, and Mr. Lu himself was leading small groups of new students on Shorty Hops around the apple orchard. We start them off with just "big jumps" over the trees, but then work up to mid-air stops, hovering, and directional changes. It's important for new students to understand our our air-traffic rules, right-of-way, and safety and privacy procedures.

Unfortunately, the icy micro-cyclones appeared without warning, and most of the new students were quickly sucked up and dispersed. The micro-cyclones may have been generated by the miniature black hole infestation that has been plaguing the school lately.

If you're a student that has been affected by this extreme-weather issue, merely concentrate on your Universal Positioning Mantra and an extraction team will be with you soon. Please do not attempt to return to school without assistance. Even if you've only ended up across town, it's possible you've landed in a different time or dimension and any actions you take could have an irreparable (or at least complicated) impact on our space-time habitation nest.

Thanks for your patience. And see you next week!

Just a quick reminder that the Intramural Flying Club will be meeting in the Apple Orchard in just a short while. Because of recent questions concerning the safety protocols we have in place, an observer from the National Levitation Safety Board will be in attendance and taking notes.

But don't let that bother you! Come on down to the Apple Orchard and dress appropriately - looks like we're getting into scarf weather! Cookies and cider will be provided.
