Hello,

I am a third generation soaring pilot. My Grandfather, Dad, and Uncle
became active in the early sixties. Unfortunately, none of us are
active right now. I am hoping to get back into soaring next season.
Please let me know if you would like more information for your project.

best regards,

Kent Orr

We are also a two-generation soaring family, but it didn't happen in the
usual direction! I got the bug from my daughter.

My daughter took lessons from an early age and her non-flying father (me)
spent years at gliderports running wings, hauling ropes, and paying bills.
Thanks to the legendary Mary Gafney, she soloed and was eventually licensed at
the minimum ages. Later on, I began taking lessons and over a period of years
became a commercial rides pilot and a CFIG. Like Kent's situation above,
neither of us is currently active in soaring. My daughter is busy with her
young family and there is currently no soaring operation near where I live, so I
have to content myself with flying ratty rental Cezznas.
