The "Four-On-the-Floor-Gang" Story written by Streideck at al and

X-C soaring.


A second story written by Schuemann et al and published in Soaring
about X-C ridge running in snow storms is also excellent. * *The
"unsantized" version of the story is even better.


Thanks! Any idea where I can find copies on the net?

You can buy old copies from the National Soaring Museum or you can
wait or someone may scan a copy. There is an SSA project to put all
old Soaring copies on the web.

A Soaring index search is here

Four on the Floor Gang is Nov, 1986

Not sure about the Schuemann article, may be indexed under another
name.
