Hi,

I'm a UK based glider pilot and I will be working in the northern
part of Minnesota in late April and for most of May.

I have a US airman's certificate for sailplanes as well as single
engine land planes.

Is there a gliding club in the northern part of Minnesota that
welcomes limeys?

Advice would be greatly welcomed.

Thanks,

Mike

Red Wing Soaring Association (http://www.rwsa.org/) is in Osceola, WI, on the Northeast side of the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, and is, as far as I know, the furthest north glider club in Minnesota. That said it is still in the southern third of the state. However when you get too much north of there there are a lot of trees and not a lot of fields. Some flights have been done to the north, as far north as Duluth, but there is still a lot of Minnesota north of there with even more trees and water and fewer fields.
