The point is, SSA needs to be run just a little differently. Part of the
required new character of the organization should be to locate its
necessary physical headquarters in a place that is consistent with both
its responsibilities and its reason for existing.

A center of business, transportation, and soaring should be chosen. No
more hinterland locations, nor a retreat from the need to be able to
walk out the door and fly a glider of an afternoon. A location with a
connection to the development of soaring in the US would be a
significant advantage.

How many alternatives does that leave us? Very few, and none of them are
Hobbs NM.
