Season Passes available from Soaring NV in Minden

Dan?

what did you fly back in the day in Minden?

.............................
Yes Pasi, it was a magical place. Much of the problem today is the vast amount of posters here have never experienced what Minden used to be like. They are the new style of flier who’s entire perspective is a narcisistic one. They rail against clubs and simply want to come out, get their tow, do their independent thing and leave. They have never tasted of the type of camraderie we had even from a commercial operation like High Country Soaring. When HCS was operated there was another commercial operator there. We always gravitated to Tom and Bills op not due to cheaper prices but due to their attitude and their dedication to detail in helping us out when we needed it. Yes at times we just came out and did our own thing, but all the californians who flew out of there regularly, and the locals, with the exception of a few california snobs, looked out for each other, helped each other with their rigging, retrieves, and their knowledge of the area. I just wish other fliers could experience what we did.

My bro had a zuni then an A model ventus. I was a kid and flew the red-white-blue Pilatus that we eventualy put on lease back with HCS.

The Pilatus was before my time. Never saw one there.

1976 thru the early 80’s
