That's right.

The _last_ dollar I earned flying was towing at 0C2, during the last
season that Hinckley Soaring was in operation. Hinckley Soaring put a
lot of pilots into the air in gliders over a thirty-year span, but all
good things must come to an end. Al is now a very valuable addition to
our club, but I miss being able to soar during the week.
