Very sad to report a mid-air at Crazy Creek Soaring, just after 11 Saturday morning. According to news reports, a Pawnee and glider collided over the airport. Two fatalities. No names released yet. News said one pilot was very experienced and lived with his family at Middletown, the other is from...

Glider clubs and commercial operators can contact their local TV stations and newspapers and give them the following link. Suggest they are invited to visit your operation where you will give them a free flight. The media is hungry for human interest stories, so it is very easy to get outstanding...

I am looking for some really good, inspirational soaring stories; short stories, books, whatever. What's the very best out there?

Does anyone have any further information on expanding the Pegasus life limit past 3000 hours? I know of a couple of gliders that are rapidly approaching this point, and there must be more in the U.S. I did not realize how bad the problem was until a discussion today with some folks who truly love...

Dear All It's been a while since I've been much of a contributor here, but I've been around since about 1992, when I took up gliding. No more, though - my Pirat went off to a new home today and I am now officially an ex glider pilot ... for the next few years I plan to concentrate on sailing. I'd...

I’ve got two questions for European pilots regarding the Form One, arising out of curiosity on my part. First, it appears to this US pilot that one of the uses of a Form One is to certify that a new part is airworthy, with the basis for airworthiness being that the part was made in accordance with...

Centrair is no longer involved with the manufacture of sailplanes and they have no reason to "extend" what could be a potential liability issue. If I had a Pegasus I would accidently misplace the log book and be forced to "estimate" the total hours in a new log book, thereafter my aging memory...

All- As the owner of a high time Pegasus (and the guy Mitch was referring to in the first post), I'd like to dispel a couple of rumors and disagree with some of the "suggestions" to this situation. First, some folks have suggested "losing" the A/C logbooks and just starting over. This is in fact...

In preparing our clubs tow lines for the season it seems we lost track of 1/2 of a dual tow set, the small ring. I expect we will have to buy the complete set but I have no idea where to find them- anyone know? Thanks all brian
