Needwood Forest Gliding Club by
Rob Shepherd
Has anyone flown from there or been a member?
I'm thinking of moving clubs for a couple of reasons but thought I'd see
if anyone had any views on here before I go take a look.

12 2008, and today,...

Commercial operators at Minden? by
Thatcher Smith
I'll have a few days spring free on a business trip and would like to do some soaring at Minden. Can anyone recommend a commercial operator there? I'd like to do some dual in a Duo or such and perhaps get released to go solo if time permits.

[email protected]
Jim Skydell and others have pointed out to me that, in my previous
post, I failed to explain what CRT stands for.
