Back issues of "Soaring", the journal of the Soaring Society of
America, are for sale through the archive of the SSA, our National
Soaring Museum in Elmira, NY. Inquire via
www.soaringmuseum.org
Much of our SSA paperwork, records, badge details, contest reports,
photos, magazines, club newsletters and more are archived at the NSM
on Harris Hill. The museum has recently been expanded and displays
many historically significant sailplanes.
Every soaring enthusiast should plan a visit to our National Soaring
Museum. Harris Hill itself is scenic and a very active soaring
site. The International Vintage Soaring Meet (IVSM) will be held on
Harris Hill June 28 to July 4, 2009. Elmira is located near the
beautiful "finger lakes" region of New York State, and you can fly
airline into Elmira-Corning (ELM) airport, in the valley below Harris
Hill.
Like the SSA, the NSM operates on a limited budget with a small
staff. Your volunteer help to assist with services is welcome at
both Hobbs, NM and Elmira, NY. Coordinate with your SSA Director to
offer your skills. A list of SSA Directors is on
www.ssa.org
Happy soaring!
