Gary,

I don't know about gliders with lights, but I do know that night time
soaring was a fairly common thing back in the days when duration records
were still recognized. As I recall the longest ran to something like 96
hours beating back and forth on a ridge, perhaps in Hawaii.

Hope things are going well for you in Hood River. I'll be in Albany and
Portland from the 20th to the 27th, but with kids and friends to visit
for the holidays, I doubt I'll be able to get over to your place.

Happy holidays,

Al

there?

I'm refurbishing an SGS 2-32 and I'm going to install nav lights on it so
that I don't have to come down late in the day, just as the wave is getting
better and better. Every month last spring we had beautiful, smooth
lenticular clouds, lit up all night by a gorgeous full moon. Are there any
accounts of any night wave soaring?
