The Miami Gliderport in south Florida has closed after 40+ years. The owners of the land - not owned by the club - have other plans for the property. However, the Miami Glider Club remains active and most members will go to the Homestead Airport and likely buy tows and rent gliders from the...

Does anybody have recent experience on taking a parachute along in checked airline baggage? Does TSA hassle you these days or mess up the chute on inspection? Terry

I'm getting that tired, impatient feeling I get when I hear one of our technical folks say "it SHOULD work" or "THAT shouldn't happen" or "works on MY machine/browser" or "never seen that before." I'm trying to get an XCSoar map file for Nephi. XCSoar's site insists I'm using IE even though I'm...
