Ooops. I forgot a very important group, the 1-26er's. I have flown
with them (as honorary glass ship)in Jean, Nv. and also out of
Parowan, Ut. They really know how to fly far and have fun away from
the home airport. "No Dues, no Don'ts."

Traveling to a place with fine soaring conditions: excellent; flying
farther, faster, and higher than ever befo exceptional; 500k in a
1-26: AWESOME!

Take a look at: http://members.cox.net/ape74/index.html This group
calls themselves The Skid Row Squadron, their home is Warner Springs,
Ca. and their attitudes about soaring, encouraging the achievment of
soaring goals, and comaraderie are exceptional.
