My first high performance glider in the mid 1970s, transitioning from a SGS-232, was a Caproni A21 out of El Mirage (U2), with my partner, Bob Burke. Now, I realize... that was quite a handful for me at the time and a major transition. It's remarkable that I managed to get about 40-50 hours in it...

I got my glider add-on last winter, he http://www.miamigliders.com. Great people, I recommend them 100%. There was normally some lift in the afternoon, when fair weather cumulus would build. But variety is the spice of life, and if I go again this winter, I'm just wondering if the weather in...

Looks like a gentle ridge day for the northern part of the ridge system. Limited to PA/NJ/NY from the looks of the GFS model runs. Winds are actually better on Friday, but as of now looks like it stays wet for most of the day.

I have a 2010 and 2012 ASA test question book for Commercial Pilot that I would donate to the cause. I didn't find any differences between the 2010 and 2012 when scanning and comparing them. I recently took (and passed) my commercial glider written and found many of the questions from the books...
