lots of places you can do that -doesn't make it a great gliding site though

and I think in the USA there are other places with far better soaring
potential than Seminole - which is probably what you want in a 'national
soaring center'.

I was making the comparison to a very famous glider port in the NE. I doubt if you can lay out in the sun, semi naked in December there. While I could care less if there was a national soaring center at SLGP the fact remains that the weather is flyable year round and the vacation advantages of the Orlando area are hard to beat. Any business that must hibernate for several months each year is unattractive. What SLGP needs is aggressive management and marketing and it will flourish. All this being said, unless the buyer is passionate about soaring there are other places in which one can put their money and receive a greater return. My guess is that Mihai is and will be stuck with the place for some time to come.
