Looks like you can buy a piece of Seminole

As a Florida Native I would hate to see this gliderport close its doors and become another sleepy airport community (unless it were a gliding community open to visitors).

Chris, we would all hate to lose another flying site, and or gliderport. Probably the outright sale would be the way to go, make for a way less complicated management. I am sure that you remember the good ole days in Miami traveling up from the Keys with your dad to fly at the old Kendall Gliderport.. Not long after your flying days there off 168 street things changed and eventually closed, everyone was scrambling for a new place to fly. There was another commercial flying site in Indiantown, Bill Malone, a local aerial applicator provided tows and glider rental. The place was sold and gliders have never returned and are not welcome. Same situation at North County Airport, the glider operation was closed and never reopened. Same thing with Arcadia, and Labelle was pretty much dismantled after Tom's tragic accident.
I know that just about most old timers like myself can recall the same things happening to some of the gliderports that they once visited or flew out of. I for one have enjoyed my sailplane activity for many years, and have worked hard to carry the torch so to speak.
