In the path of totality. Free camping at the airfield. Tows available. www.kingmountaingliderpark.com Call John at 208-407-7174

Hi All, My first CFI-G renewal is coming up. I have not been able to find any glider focused ones scheduled between now and my September 30th expiration date. Is it okay to use a non glider (airplane) focused FIRC for a CFI-G renewal? Any recommendations for a FIRC, I am leaning towards one of...
