Does anyone know of nice, residential airparks in good soaring areas that would be accommodating of gliders? Western US, Northeast US, whatever.....I need to come back to the US and find a soarable place to live, without having to commute to an airfield.

I really like the earplug style headsets. I had a Quiet Technologies, but it got stolen, and now I have a Clarity Aloft. But it amazes me that they're as expensive as the normal clamp-style headsets. I buy $20 Skull Candy brand iPod earbuds, and they make as good an ear seal as the Clarity Aloft...

This is a great group and I'd like to ask another question that's been burning me. I rent a 172N which has the capability of 40 degrees of flaps.
