Hi there,
I'd like get into the soaring. My plan is to get certified over the
summer.
Where is the best flying conditions and club not too far from NYC (100
mi).

I appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks,
Vlad

Hi Vlad,

As stated elsewhere, several options in NY, NJ, and PA. It does
depend a bit on what you are after. If you are able to fly on
weekdays and want to compress the schedule as much as possible, then
the commercial operations at either Blairstown or Van Sant may be the
ticket. If you are looking for a club experience first and foremost,
then Valley soaring might be just the ticket. Can't comment on LISA,
other than to note that the soaring conditions are usually a bit
better at the inland locations.
