Not sure about the Naples area, but there is the "Miami Glider Club"
that flies off a grass strip off of Krome Avenue just north of
Homestead.
There is also a commercial operation where you could buy a tow that
flies out of Homestead General.
I drive up from Key West to do my flying, so I expect your drive would
be no worse than mine.
Respectfully,

Someone bought an L-13 from one of our club members. I believe it was
heading to the Naples area for a start up commercial operation. I also
heard through the grapevine that it was destroyed by hurricane charley.
This is not confirmed.

Thke Care,

Joe

There is a glider at Immokalee airport. A lot of open fields around the
airport. Last time I checked rates were average.

182 towplane, have not met or flown with anyone out there yet. I have
been flying my Discus with my buddy and his asw-24 out of Lenox flying
school, Gardner Fla., just north of Arcadia, however Hurricane Charlie
destroyed the towplane, a 2-22 and a I-26. Pat and Harriett, even
though their homes received substantial damage have vowed to locate
another towplane and return to flight status. I own a citabria with a
towhook and can use it when the weather i.e.
hurricanes- fade away and we can once again think about recreational
flying.
Come join us.
