Almost all the clubs in Europe give rides, this is how they keep the
kitty from getting empty. There are at least 3 com. operations in
Germany. More in France. The Clubs call them Schnupperfluege. Sniff
out the activity.


As far as I know, except Quo Vadis, the commercial operating organization
of Klaus Ohlmann, there are no commercial operations in France. The CNVV
(Centre National de Vol à Voile) in Saint Auban may seem very similar to
a commercial operation, as it is operated by full time professionals, but
it is a non profit organization. Almost all the clubs in France give rides,
but very few make any profit on that, as this is forbidden by the law, so
this cannot be used to keep the kitty from getting empty.
