writes Just-for-fun gliding encampments and safaris Has your local gliding community had a successful soaring safari or soaring encampment at an airport other than your home airport? And...did you have fun? Yes sir! A few years ago a bunch of us went out from Norfolk England to Aosta, in N Italy. Fantastic place, made lots of friends, mostly the German group from Oerlinghousen. Lots of wave, very sociable. -- Mike Lindsay |

Ooops. I forgot a very important group, the 1-26er's. I have flown
with them (as honorary glass ship)in Jean, Nv. and also out of Parowan, Ut. They really know how to fly far and have fun away from the home airport. "No Dues, no Don'ts." Traveling to a place with fine soaring conditions: excellent; flying farther, faster, and higher than ever befo exceptional; 500k in a 1-26: AWESOME! Take a look at: http://members.cox.net/ape74/index.html This group calls themselves The Skid Row Squadron, their home is Warner Springs, Ca. and their attitudes about soaring, encouraging the achievment of soaring goals, and comaraderie are exceptional. |
