Fort Collins - CO

[Richard Frawley]

All,

I am active Australian comp pilot visiting my business HQ in FC CO. Looking for guidance on who to contact in the area who could help me with getting some gliding in. I will be regular visitor for the next couple years and staying for extended periods, so looking to get involved in the local scene.

Regards

Mile high is the local commercial operation http://www.milehighgliding.com

Soaring Society of Boulder is the club operation http://soarboulder.org

Both operate out of Boulder Municipal Airport https://bouldercolorado.gov/airport

The Boulder scene flies more frequently. Colorado Soaring Association, http://soarcsa.org is mainly weekends, but has course and task weeks during the summer. It's much closer to Fort Collins.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Colorado Soaring Association (a club)
at Owl Canyon Glider Port
<http://www.soarcsa.org/index.php?page=scenic-flights>, Wellington, CO.
I found a warm reception at Bond Springs, NT, Australia, and I'd be very
surprised if you were not welcomed by this club. It's located north of
Ft. Collins, near the Wyoming border.

Richard,

As mentioned, the Colorado Soaring Association is the closest to Ft. Collins. It is 15 miles to the north. Let me/us know when you'll be out this way and I can give you the nickle tour. And if a cherry-ripe chocolate bar (dark, of course) happens to follow you here, I'll be sure to dispose of it properly.

Via email, Bernie helped me debug my Android Skew-t app so it worked with Australian data.

Thanks CJ. By far my all time favorite. I was working in Darwin 8 years ago and had brought back a case of them, my kids only got one each... I hadn't seen then in the US since I was a kid (25-30 years ago). I'm a big fan of Ghirardelli, but NOTHING beats Cherry Ripe!
