Fort Collins - CO

All,

I am active Australian comp pilot visiting my business HQ in FC CO. Looking for guidance on who to contact in the area who could help me with getting some gliding in. I will be regular visitor for the next couple years and staying for extended periods, so looking to get involved in the local scene.

Via email, Bernie helped me debug my Android Skew-t app so it worked with Australian data.

The Boulder scene flies more frequently. Colorado Soaring Association, http://soarcsa.org is mainly weekends, but has course and task weeks during the summer. It's much closer to Fort Collins.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Colorado Soaring Association (a club)
at Owl Canyon Glider Port
http://www.soarcsa.org/index.php?page=scenic-flights, Wellington, CO.
I found a warm reception at Bond Springs, NT, Australia, and I'd be very
surprised if you were not welcomed by this club. It's located north of
Ft. Collins, near the Wyoming border.

Dan, If you ever to Sydney. ping me

Richard,

As mentioned, the Colorado Soaring Association is the closest to Ft. Collins. It is 15 miles to the north. Let me/us know when you'll be out this way and I can give you the nickle tour. And if a cherry-ripe chocolate bar (dark, of course) happens to follow you here, I'll be sure to dispose of it properly.
