The U.S. Team office provides a place for the team pilots to congregate and discuss strategy, a comfortable venue for the team support to monitor their progress during the task, and a haven from the oppressive heat that we groundlings must suffer while our brethren enjoy riding on the same hot air that bedevils us!

Today, our Team Captain, Dennis Linnekin, enjoyed a visit from his daughter Katie Benson, her husband Jake, and their young son Everett, who exuded unbridled and spontaneous enthusiasm about all the gliders and airplanes he’s seen in Uvalde.
