Dear Bill,
You may want to schedule your flight to USA into Orlando, Florida. That would accomodate your aims and ambitions. Go for it. From there, flying into or out of Orlando International Airport, go to the fine gliderport Seminole-Lake Gliderport at Clermont Florida. Seminole-Lake Gliderport is not far from Orlando; In fact, from the Seminole-Lake Gliderport aloft from aerotow alttitude of 2000ft , you can see Orlando, or climb a bit higher off tow and thence see more; Gliding about from there you have to avoid flying over DisneyWorld etc in the Orlando area. You shall be that close to Orlando metro area and DisneyWorld. Your hosts shall be Knut and Ingrid Kjenslie. Scandia born. Americans. They shall love to be hospitable to you. To see info a bit about it, check the website SoarFL.com Knut and Ingrid run a fine commercial operation and sort of club setting, with swimming pool there, and bunkplace, that will give you all you seek, and there you shall have the splendid scent of orange blossoms in citrus country to remember. There are many beautiful hawks there, and also Bald Eagles to fly with. Keep your eyes peeled for snakes and fireants. Seminole-Lake Gliderport hosts the annual National Seniors Championships. Yes, you must be at least 52 or 55 to qualify as contestant,,,yet many are your own age or more. Enjoy the hospitality and experience of Seminole-Lake Soaring. Wow, nice place Seminole-Lake Gliderport. Convenient to Interstate highways for a drive to Georgia. Then you could drive up to Dublin Ga. Not much happnin' in so far as gliding at Dublin these days. There once was a club at Statesboro, Ga. but it is no more for many years as far as I know. Tho I always hope for a revival there with someone buying and using a SGS-2-33 or a Blanik and providing a towplane. Yet, that has not happened I think. Dublin, Tho it is sho nuff good Southern Georgia Land Culture. Doncha Know, you would be more likely to talk your way aboard someones Cherokee Six or Cessna 150 or 172 and enjoy that experience. Call the local airport at Dublin, then fly an airplane there. You shall enjoy. Dublin Ga - It is a nice place to inhale the South, in USA. But don't be in no hurry there. Take yo' time. Talk (Tawk) real slow. No hurry at all. A New York Minute is unknown there, and not welcome. Generations make good foundations for good relationships and kinships. Tho they shall welcome you as well, when they hear you are from their distant heritage. Tell'em, one and all. There, hospitality is fine. Accents are Southern. You may even hear some seemingly Old English phrases or brogue there from the Ol Timers if yall seek 'em out, DonchaKnow? Seek out the ol' time restaurants, or just go to Police Stations and ask where to go and where to eat. The Police or Deputy Sheriffs know. Have fun. Be of good heart. God bless you, Dancing on clouds, Keep it up! Jim Culp USA GatorCity Florida ASW-20C |
