It's a bit complicated. Everybody (except one) agrees that Tanner-Hiller
(8B5) is a pain to get to. Now, Post Mills has the L23 we were using to
fling. It's tough for the club (based at 3B3) to spare a suitable glider
2 place for a day, etc.

The winch runs great and we've made a bunch of improvements like
replacing the rollers, mounting 5000 ft of Spectra.... I've logged 41
launches off of it. It's a blast.

So let's put it someplace else. VSF would be an excellent candidate,
huge airport, no traffic, existing glider ops... and yeah I know, it's
even further from Boston than Tanner-Hiller. But at VSF a) you'd get
more help, b) you'd be able to winch high enough to go soaring.
