AOPA Pilot magazine article on FAI SGP USA
The article is written by Charles Peterson (his second in the magazine I believe) and resides within in the latest August 2017 issue of AOPA Pilot. This issue not online yet (still July) within th website but the magazine is starting to ship. The article features Rich Owen and tells the tale of the FAI SGP USA 🇺🇸 Orlando and highlights general competition soaring thru his eyes as a lifelong pilot (military, commercial and soaring).
I'm working with the AOPA publications department to try and get the article released publically for social media consumption and sharing. Congrats Charles (CP) and Rich on the article. Sean Fidler 7T

The article also features Maria Szemplinska's exceptional soaring photography...
Thanks again Charles, Maria and Rich. Sean 7T

Well written article. Good tone for the airplane audience. More type A orientated, instead of the usual soaring articles about happy hippy cloud hugging. Not that there is anything wrong with hippies hugging clouds.

Not that there is anything wrong with hippies hugging clouds. Yup. "Air Force and airline pilots like to spend their weekends attaining superior skills and fun in gliders -- they're not interested in 172s".

Nice to have such exposure to the non-soaring public. Meanwhile, SSA has put the huge archive of Soaring magazine on line - but only allows access to SSA members. How stupid is that? If we want to attract new members, should allow interested people access, to learn about our sport.
