SEARCH index   
A searchable index is being built for the complete set of free flight issues. Issues from 1968 to present are currently indexed. Earlier issues will be added steadily as work progresses. For any problems you may find or possible improvements to suggest, please contact the editor.

SEARCH tips
In order to minimize "split" searches, spelling has been standardized to one version as much as possible; for example, accented words in German and French have been anglicized. If searching for a person, just use the surname. If searching for an aircraft, use last three characters of registration mark or try model designation with or without dashes. All accident/incident entries are listed under "Safety". If looking for info on clubs, use chief distinguishing title word(s) (ex. York) or the abbreviation of well-known clubs (ex. MSC for Montreal Soaring Council).
 
ARCHIVE issues    
All the magazine issues from the present back to 1981 are archived as .pdf files. Many of these earlier back issues are not precisely identical to the original magazine because only the text was originally saved in the diskette storage era. In the replication process, some photographs or ads were no longer available. Pages were scanned, then text OCR’ed and placed. Though a more lengthy process than simply scanning each page, this allowed errors in the original text and poorly printed photos to be corrected, making some of these archive copies better than the original. In the future I intend to further improve the archived issues by reinserting coloured photos where still available, and the 12-page SAC AGM annual report inserts in issues where they are missing.

CONTRIBUTIONS
Material published in free flight is contributed by individuals or clubs for the enjoyment of Canadian soaring enthusiasts. The accuracy of the material is the responsibility of the contributor. No payment is offered for submitted material. An e-mail in any common word processing format is welcome (preferably as a text file or a plain e-mail). All material is subject to editing to the space limitations and the quality standards of the magazine. Send images as 300 dpi .jpg or .tif files. Prints returned on request. Material from free flight may be reprinted without prior permission, but SAC requests that both the magazine and the author be given acknowledgement.

Free Flight CD
A CD containing .pdf files of all issues of free flight from 1981 through to the current issue plus a large and growing number of excellent photos (mostly 7x10 - 300 dpi images - many from the cover) is available from the editor.
Cost - 6$ - postage included.
