Night Flights by Gary Boggs
I know there are sailplanes around the world that are equipped with lights but I've never read about any night time soaring, are there any stories out there? I'm refurbishing an SGS 2-32 and I'm going to install nav lights on it so that I don't have to come down late in the day, just as the wave...

2-32 Flight Manual by Chuck Lohre
Does anyone have a digital copy of the S 2-32 manual? I hear that Las Vegas Soaring has a few to rent and it would be much nicer than a 2-33. I've flown Jerry Marshall's 1-34 quite a bit out there and have had some great flights in the wave off of Clark Mountain up to Mt. Potosi. Jerry's no longer...

Marfa, Texas Words of Wisdom? by Ray Lovinggood
Would any of you Marfa Veterans have any words of wisdom to pass along about flying at Marfa? Has there been a book published about flying Marfa, similar to Tom Knauff's book about flying the Appalachian ridges? I've gotten some info from Burt Compton, but was hoping 'visitors' to Marfa could...

Whereabouts of Cherokee II project? by [email protected]
I recently noticed a Cherokee II project in Nebraska for sale on Barnstormers. Called and it's reported sold to "someone in Illinois". If anyone out there knows where it's ended up I'd love to hear about it. We have a restored Cherokee here in Iowa and it would be great to share knowledge and...

Just soloed on my 14th b-day! by Tlewis95
I just soloed a Schweizer 2-33 on my 14th birthday! It was the very last day of operations for the Windy City Soaring Association (11/28/04) and I was the last flight of the season. I was amazed how much nicer the 2-33 seemed to fly solo (or maybe it was just me). A special thank you goes out...

Written in the early seventies about soaring at Marfa - in big wing (open class) sailplanes. Map enclosed with green/red landable/unlandable areas (for big wings at least), and known "sink holes" and lift areas. I have copies available. I also have DVD copies of "The Sun Ship Game" movie. Then...

Get the first ATP - Glider rating in the USA! by Mark James Boyd
Hmmm...being a bit of a screwball, I've always wondered about getting an Airline Transport Pilot license for Gliders. It seems this is now possible... 61.165(f) says if you have an ATP already, you can apply for a category and class rating limited to a specific make and model of experimental...

Sport Pilot/LSA for motorgliders by R. Wubben
Curious if any thought has been given to the idea of registering some of the two seat touring motor glider types as "Light Sport Aircraft" in the US under the new Sport Pilot initiative? I'm thinking of the Scheibe SF-25 or 28, Grob, Vivat, Ximango (although with its gear it may not be...
