Hi Brad, Thanks for your input. I believe the glider operation was gone by ‘77. I guess it’s to be expected that information would be sparse. I basically grew up on that little airport but nobody remembers the operation. Including the locals.
I guess a take away from this little story, don’t underestimate a simple kindness.
Don’t know if this will help any, but I flew a 2-33 and a 1-26 at a little strip near Las Vegas In December, 1971. I was on temporary duty at Nellis AFB and drove maybe 30 minutes to the glider port several times. My log book shows OK to solo 1-26 by Robert Wiley at Skysailing LVN. I do remember that Ross Bregleb was running the little glider FBO. This may have been the Henderson operation?
Hope this helps,
JJ
I was there in 1975, I do not recall the specific names of the people, but Ross does ring a bell, it was out in the middle of nowhere back then. Bob
