Default Region 2 backseat available with 3R / USTeam Fundraiser

Back seat available in brand new Arcus 20m for the Region 2 regionals
in Mifflin. This will be a fundraising deal for the US soaring teams.
The Arcus is generously provided by Pete Alexander. You will fly with
Richard Walters, past national champion. He is no Karl Striedieck, but
he promises not to whistle. Active training in efficient soaring and
racing will be the focus. Cost will be $325 per day, with $200 going
to the team fund. The extra is to cover the 6000 mile round trip to
Mifflin in a shared cost arrangement. Ideal arrangement would be to
have two victims ( eh, pilots ) so that one can crew each day. Open to
offers. You never know how many days will be flown ( this isn't
Minden) so maybe hope for 5 days out of the 7 planned, plus one
practice day. Maximum weight of 220#. One day or all. Any interest?
