wrote in message ... Hi, Can anybody recomend a good soaring facility in the US that does XC instruction and XC rentals? My goal is to plan a week long soaring vacation and hopefully finish my Gold (have alt and duration). Recomendations? Thanks, Paul K. You could try Mile High Gliding in Boulder, CO. You could fly a 300K with an instructor in a Duo Discus and then rent a Genesis II for the badge flight on the same route. May and June usually have great XC weather. Bill Daniels |

If you are doing this out west...besides the usual
suspects of Minden, Moriarty, Caracole, etc.....let me suggest one other possibilty. Guenther Jacobs runs a very low key and top notch operation at Parowan. He has done a 500k with the Blanik L13 there, and has single place plastic ships for rent. Consider giving him a shout.

Sundance Aviation in Moriarty, New Mexico would be an excellent
destination. Very helpful & friendly staff that are highly experienced in glider flight & instruction. They have several glass ships to choose from and there are dozens of 500K & 1000K flights originating from Moriarty every summer. New Mexico is also a beautiful state with a very diverse population & culture- lots of nice scenery, art & a large native american population. |
