This winter, Aero Club Albatross is hosting several two seminars on wave and ridge soaring. Please join us on:

January 20th: Wave Soaring

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wave-so...418300#tickets

February 17th: Ridge Soaring

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/soaring...ts-41260618621

The seminars will be hosted at the Warren County Library, which is located only five minutes from Blairstown airport. Feel free to fly in and a club member would gladly drive you to the seminars. Conversely, we are located only 7 minutes away from Rt.80.

Tickets are $10 for juniors, $20 for ACA members and $40 for visitors. If you join as an associate member ($66), you can pay the ACA member rate. Becoming an associate would let you join our egroup, tow behind the soon-to-be ACA towplane, use ACA tools/facilities and participate in club social events.

If you have any questions, feel free to post or contact me at danielsazhin at gmail.com

All the best,
Daniel

Is there any chance that this could be recorded and uploaded for interested non-US parties please?

I'm sure there's plenty of interested people. Just raw video dumped onto YouTube or Vimeo would be great.

Hey Dan,

We'll definitely look into recording the seminars to preserve the valuable information presented. I am not sure how and when the video will be uploaded afterwards; it's still a matter of organizing who will be filming it.

All the best,
Daniel
