Glider safety clinic and FIRC

Doris and I just finished a successful Glider pilot safety clinic and
Flight instructor revalidation clinic at Minden, Nevada. Pilots came
from nearby states, as far away as Seattle, Washington.

We received many positive comments about the value and content of the
clinic. Everyone will benefit from the standardization of flight
training procedures as well as the review of numerous safety issues
which will have a positive effect on this region's recent safety
problems.

Doris and I return to Ridge Soaring Gliderport on Wednesday.

The next clinic is scheduled for February at the National Air & Space
Museum at Dulles National Airport.

I drove 11 hours to attend this FIRC from Tom and Doris and is was
well worth it! The first time I attended a safety seminar by Tom
almost 20 years ago it changed the way I flew. This clinic has changed
the way I'm going to teach. If you ever have a chance to go to one of
his presentations, do not pass it up.

Thank you Tom and Doris.
