Foreign Visitors and ratings

FYI : The USHGA is willing and able to issue an IPPI card for a 10$ fee. If the visitor has an international rating he may not need this. With some international rating cards no fee is required and the pilot is covered under the USHGA`s insurance. I was not able to view our visitors rating card so I can not make a call on this one. The ratings he referred to were not know to me or anyone I spoke to at the USHGA.
As always thirty day memberships are available.

Thanks for following up on this.
Our german visitor Guido (pronounced Geedo, with a hard 'G' as in 'guitar', rather than the italian pronunciation of Gooweedo) is eager to fly and did purchase a temporary membership to SAHGA. He's been flying for 2 years and has 40-50 flights/hours.
I'm sure he'd enjoy a glassoff at Mustang, and it appears that the weather is shaping up perfectly for that on Saturday.

Question I forgot to ask you at Tuesday:
What is about radio units during your flights? On the cards I have seen some airports nearby. Is it necessary because of air traffic?
regards Guido
