GREAT fun and scenic flight by Joe Bostic

[Bob T]

Joe Bostic had the opportunity and pleasure yesterday to fly toward Durango and over Silverton and Telluride on a flight from Moriarty, getting to see the color and grandeur of the San Juan mountains many of us in SW Colorado used to view almost daily when flying from the now closed down Val Air Gliderport (now a prairie dog preserve!). His comment of the flight being so beautiful, and "more fun than a 1000" was right on. Great flight Joe!

Indeed. I was there just a few weeks ago. Very sad and frustrating to see the remnants of the gliderport there, T hangers still in place, yet trees planted mind-runway.
The local pilots offered to buy it, but couldn’t get a deal. 😢

Yes what a great flight by Joe!
Pretty quiet at cloudbase over the San Juans these days.

Keep those facts in the back of your mind when you feel like bitching about your local club/ tow operation.
