Kudos to Tony Smit, FBO of Benz Aviation, Ionia, MI, for hosting a youth camp and soloing nine new glider pilots! Way to go, Tony!

Anything online about this? Like to share the love. Last time I checked this camp is done in conjunction with the Western Michigan Aviation Academy and because of funding is a closed camp, restricted to academy students. They were discussing the possibility of opening the camp to other interested youth. http://www.westmichiganaviation.org/...o-glider-camp/
