The June 2006 issue of Soaring just arrived in the mail, and it incorrectly identifies the glider on the cover as a 'Schweizer'. Unless I am mistaken or he has sold it, the glider pictured belongs to Wayne Spani and is a beautifully restored Ka-8. I had the opportunity to fly it once, and it is a...

Will be in Amsterdam in May. Looking for a glider club to possibly get a ride/flight. Does anybody have contacts for soaring in this area? Will have rental car so driving 1-2 hours is no problem. Also, any first hand experience with required pilot, medical certificates would be appreciated. Will...

Have a short trip to Barcelona next month. Might have a day to be a soaring tourist. Has anybody gone soaring at any of the glider airports nearby? If so, could you forward contacts, experience, etc. to my e mail: generein at AY Oh EL. thanks. Gene

My wife and I are vacationing in Europe this year and are including a visit to Mont Blanc, near Chamonix in the French Alps. Naturally, I am trying to fit in a dual soaring flight while we're there. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone. I will be relocating to Charlotte, NC in the next couple of months and was wondering if anyone had recommendations for soaring clubs in the area. I am currently flying with High Flights Soaring near Colorado Springs, CO. I saw that there are three clubs in NC based on the SSA web...

Going to NZ for a trip tomorrow, will be based out of Lake Taupo. Are there any gliding clubs/operators in the mid north island area? Will try to get down to Omarama whilst I am out there also. Cheers Al

Greetings, all! My work will take me to Paris, France Nov 3-10, 2004. Would you please be so kind as to forward me contact information for a glider club or operation where I might fly as a guest on the weekend of Nov 6-7, 2004? I don't need to solo or go cross-country... just a "friend" ride...

Hi, The November 20, 2011 edition of the Soaring News newsletter from Cumulus Soaring, Inc. is available now. http://www.cumulus-soaring.com/newsletter/2011-11/ It was fun pulling together all the articles, photos and links. I hope you enjoy it. Good Soaring,

Hi, I started posting items to my new Soaring News by Paul Remde of Cumulus Soaring, Inc. web site about 1 week ago. I have posted many interesting soaring news items and links to the page. So far the page has 512 "Likes" from glider pilots around the world. That is a very good start. Thank...

I'm wondering how much the modern reluctance to land out and desire for collision avoidance technology is driven by an underlying fear that if society knew about soaring, society would ban it. Granted no one wants to die or have anyone else die but we've been recreational flying for 100 years and...
