The nifty postings by Gary and Garret reminded me that Mile High Gliding
was visited 12/6/06 by a local news team. I thought that Bob (pilot) or
Gunnar (TV pro) would have beaten me to a posting. The video link is:



In this case, it was a story on one of these proliferating web gift
resellers rather than us, but our logos and fine flying are evident.

This clip aired 12/8/04 on our CBS station. We've had stories run by
all the local stations from time to time as have, probably, most glider
FBOs out there -- I saw a reference to a recent one at Sky Sailing's web
while checking out the national "Today" story and Bret's Acro films.

I hope Bob was telling the recipient of the gift that the ride doesn't
have to be a once in a lifetime experience. I suspect so, Bob's not shy
;-). After all, for the price of the Mig flight they were talking
about, you could learn to fly and get a share of a ship. Great to see
the exposure.
Glad he got his gift a couple weeks ago. No flying in Boulder for a few
more days :-p

Some years back the local "Outdoor Nevada" crew visited us and Minden NV.
They still play the tape in "reruns" on the local Access Channel. When they
do we get an influx of ride requests and new club members. Best Free
Advertising work we ever did. All it took was a few flights with the film
crew, a few of our members, students and experience did interviews.
