Will be visiting Tuscon last week of March 07 and Ohio
first week of April 07 and would really like to fly
if I can.

I have found the arizona sailplane association website
and hence links to Turf Soaring School and Tucson Gliding
Club.

Struggling a bit on the Ohio side of things. I will
be in Lebanon, Ohio which is roughly between Dayton
and Cincinnati. A trawl of google this afternoon has
only uncovered Adrian Soaring Club for Michigan / NW
Ohio.

I would be really interested to hear of any other clubs
in the Dayton / Cincinnati area. Also whether they
are a year round 7 day a week organisation etc.

Many thanks in advance for any URL posts or advice.

Caesar Creek Soaring Club is one of the largest clubs in the USA and is
right in the Cincinnati Dayton area. It is only 8 miles from Lebanon.
Check out its website for more info.

We fly all year and guests are always welcome.

Valerie:

If you visit Caesar Creek and if you have any interest in
general aviation as well, visit Red Stewart field as well.
It's only a few miles away from the Caesar Creek field and
they rent some great old airplanes from a gorgeous grass
field.

It's also a short hop to Dayton, home of the Wright Bros.
and the cradle of aviation. The USAF Museum is there as are
a few nice Wright Bros. exhibits, particularly the
original 1905 Wright B Flyer at Carillon Park.
