The Women Soaring Pilots Association’s annual seminar got off to a great start Monday at the Chilhowee Gliderport in Benton, Tennessee.  Twenty-eight pilots and several non-flying supporters have gathered for five days of flying and friendship.  Monday dawned hot and sunny, and cu’s were popping by lunchtime.  Morning flights were short, but provided good training and familiarization.  The lift got stronger as the day went on, and afternoon flights provided great thermalling practice.  The rest of the week promises similar weather and hopes are high for more outstanding soaring.

Thank you to Lucy Anne McKosky for the report, stay tuned, more to come. — Editor
