Real estate prices are also high in Europe yet clubs still manage to

I thought In Europe, soaring was, sponsored by goverments.
In this case Sponsored means subsidized with money.
Is this still true?

That's one of those long-standing myths! Heard that over and over again ...

Don't know where you heard that? In the Uk they are turning most
old airfields and some active ones into housing or industrial estates
-prime prices. One can always find excuses on ways not how to -
maybe some of those mega rich flyboys you have in the USA like
Tito could help out? I think Lasham was £1.5 million some years ago
when it was purchased.?

Just saw this advert in Barnstormers.com

The nicest gliderport in the USA in my opinion. The swimming pool makes it so.

Rich Owen: Please reply if anything about the advert is not true.

I was at Seminole today... Everything is packed nicely in the hangar, chairs are in, and waiting for the big one that will never come! See you there when Florida dries out!

Geez there’s a bunch of bitter trolls in this thread, who seem to be happy to slag of someone who can’t respond, but I guess that’s the American way. Truth and justice abandoned since the tangerine Nazi was elected.

Maybe YOU will want to "donate" THREE MILLION to a criminal - be my guest!

But, but, but...Â* Will the hangar withstand the hurricane?Â* I truly hope so!
