One of the best soaring schools is close to you. Seminole-Lake
Gliderport is west of Orlando, south of Clermont. Website is www.soarfl.com
SLGP is a beautiful purpose-built gliderport, open 6 days a week.
Owners Kunt & Ingrid will welcome you and help you reach your goals.
To find most all of the soaring clubs or commercial soaring schools
(there is a difference) in the USA, visit the Soaring Society of
America website at www.ssa.org Click on the "Where To Fly"
interactive map. Be sure to join the SSA while you are on the website
to receive "Soaring " magazine.
For information on glider training, visit the Soaring Safety
Foundation website at www.soaringsafety.org Lots of good information
there to prepare you for your first lesson, including a bibliography
of soaring texts and books.
Have fun!

I sure hope Ingrids husband is not really called that name!
Welcime to soaring Tom!
