Default Gliderport below IFR arrival route into Newark?

Yeah, the closest glider port to those coordinates is Randall....Valley
Soaring Club

If you are in Newark, other possibilities are Blairstown
Airport/Gliderport, (about an hour and a quarter drive)....Check OLC...#2
airfield!!

Also Wurtsboro, which is 7days a week operation, just beyond Randall

A bit further out is PGC, and VanSant...

Hi everyone,

apporaching Newark (KEWR) yesterday on the FLOSI2-arrival, I noticed an
airfield with at least ten gliders aligned close to the runway just in
the vicinity of point CRANK (N41°25.00'W074°23.33'), which we crossed

in
6000 ft. Google maps did not help me much, I also could not find any
suitable airfield in OLC. Which airfield did I see? Could be

interesting
to visit during a stopver...

Thanks for you help!

Don't they give you airline guys VFR sectionals anymore??? :-)

Looks like you were looking at the Middleton airport and Valley Soaring
club.

Never flown there but sky vector and google work well
