The Minden Soaring Club (MSC) has announced the award of eight scholarships to local youth to help finance flight and ground instruction in preparation for obtaining a private glider rating.
On Thursday, Air Sailing Gliderport (ASG), welcomed the first “students,” Patrick Greusenmeyer and Rolland Nakashima, for two days of early flying in preparation for the this year’s ASG Thermal Camp.
Stewart Crane from Air Sailing Nevada sent his club’s news to Soaring Café: “So far, Chukar is 5th in the US for today and Dragonfly is 10th! Here are pictures of them after landing and a group picture with Mark and Skimmer. Neita says her feet got cold, so she is open to suggestions on boots and heat pads. I was just amazed that not only did Chukar fly that far but that he made it back. Do you realize how short the wings are on a 1-26?”
I took this video in the Duo Discus (DDT), the one we use on the long wave flights. This was a nice day flying out of Minden and shot in the area of Tioga Pass along the Sierra. Enjoy.
