Use the Web Luke.

Google'ing "Maine glider ride" first hit is the company you mention.

Seem pretty experienced folks and appear to be flying an Grob 109
touring motorglider.

There are other web site claiming to offer conventional glider rides
in Maine. Not sure why they would not want to be in the SSA index.

There is a state Representative in Maine who has this as a business on the

is his business registered there, and his site is not on the SSA map of
places to fly -- there is not such a one in the state of Maine. He
advertises locally and has brochures at the airport.

At the moment I can't remember either his name or at which airport he
flies, but I can easily find out from a contact in Maine. *If you are
interested in pursuing this, send me a private email.

What do you guys think: is it feasible for one guy with a 2 seat
motorglider to offer glider rides as a part time business; just to earn
a bit of spare cash? Do you know anyone doing this who is not part of a
larger commercial soaring operation or schoool? Would appreciate your
thoughts.

The glider ride biz owner was recently in Boulder looking for ride
pilots for next summer.
