There has got to be a glider group near by, go to www.ssa.org and search
the "Where to Fly" section.
He can solo now have a glider rating long before he can in power.

The nearest glider ops are in Muscatine (MUT) -- about a 45 minute
round-trip (by air), and about a 2 hour round trip by car. And their "ops"
are FAR from consistent.

It's a shame -- he really enjoyed flying the CAP gliders.
