I have just seen an unscientific poll on a guitar forum that I found fascinating, and not because of what it means for playing guitars. In this poll, almost 41% of those responding were between the ages of 50 and 59. The next largest group, 40-49, is at only 18%. Like most, if not all of us...

Congratulations to young american glider pilots and their Club/FBO sponsors who successfuly applied for SSA grants in 2003. Brad Towne of the Caesar Creek Soaring Club won the Bultman award for his excellence as a ground crew worker. Garrret Willat (mentor: Gary Ittner) and Mike Westbrook...

We look forward to numerous entries in the "Cadet" learn-to-fly scholarship contest (named for the 1930 Frank Gross training glider). While this distributed SSA recruiting tool (poster, site invitation, essay challenge)is available all year, the submission deadline passes this weekend -- while kids...

I am considering making a purchase for a AGS29 pure glider, I have somewhat a good idea as to the market value of such a ship, but your feedback would be greatly appreciated. What would you consider the market value of aa ASG29 2012 model, with a slight damage history and somewhat outdated panel...

Describe your first land out and tell us if you had any specific prior training for cross country flying or for landing in an unusual place. As stated elsewhere, formal training for cross country flying and landing out is sorely lacking in the USA.Â* Yes, there are a few places where you can go...

Hi, I'm just curious. Does anyone know who is the youngest person to fly a 1000k diploma....? Cheers, Luke

Please watch this young lady trying to become a glider pilot. Like her video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgPlEL-HELU Is nice to see young people getting into Aviation in general and Gliders in particular. --robert

Well, I did another 10 Young Eagle rides over the weekend. How about you? A reminder that if just one individual at every Club and FBO in the country would do a half dozen each month, the american soaring community could add 10,000 to EAA's total and bring them up to the 1 million mark by...

So I'm reading this thriller novel called 'Blowout' by Dorgan and Hagberg. It is set at a remote secret site in North Dakota, and the front cover shows a flat, featureless snow-covered plain with what looks like a chemical plant in the background. In the foreground, just above the title is a big...

Ramy completed the real-life very challenging outlanding in a tailwind, uphill. His glider had a little damage from a groundloop. I’m guessing he did the groundloop because he was very close to the trees at the end of the fairway. See the golf course in satellite view and his landing track at ...

The york Saoring website seems to be working fine now. Check out the 'what is soaring' section. They have also started a Freedoms Wings program and have soloed their first wheelchair bound (well not any more) student! Don C-GLUV

Canadian Rockies Soaring Club blew us out of the water. That despite Bob Lepp's heroic efforts to almost single handedly defend our now lost 1st place in the club standings where we shined so briefly. But we're still in 2nd place! Wouldn't it be fun to have our pilots fly in the Rockies for...
