I'm a power pilot by trade. I got back into gliders this summer. Commercial and CFI-G. Got checked out to teach and tow. I did a fair amount of glider flying in my college years (20 years ago) L-13 mostly.

This summer I flew at Franconia NH. Grob, L23 and of course the 2-33.

I'd like to travel somewhere in the first week of March. I'm looking to fly some more high performance stuff, and get some instruction on X-C.

Ideas?

Thanks

When I lived in Colorado I flew at Minden now and then; I had wave over 50% of the time, even at times you wouldn't expect it (mid summer). March should be quite good.


The Mt. Mitchell (NC) wave camp is at the end of February (2/21 - 3/2) and is
followed by the Sequatchie (TN) ridge camp (3/22 - 3/31). Check at the
Chilhowee web page http://www.chilhowee.com/

I'd also expect Ridge Soaring (PA) to get going once the snow melts sometime
in March.
