Good morning,



I started working on my glider rating about 25 years ago and got distracted. I've since earned my PP-SEL and PP-rotor but it's been awhile since I used those as well.



I'd really like to take a week off of work and dedicate it to some extensive training. To that end, I'm looking for recommendations for US fields that offer training blocks, have a reputation for good instructors, and that have a variety of conditions that will allow me to make the best use of the time. I am tentatively targeting the first week of September for this.



Any recommendations, pro or con, would be most welcome.

Check with Sylvania Soaring Adventures, Beloit, WI, www.soarmidwest.com. Pretty close to your location and can probably meet your goals. A bit further away is Benz Aviation in Ionia, MI. http://www.benzaviation.com/glider_training.html. There are some good glider clubs nearby; Chicago Glider Club and Sky Soaring are a couple. I don't know about available course weeks at those, you'll need to check with them.

Good luck,

Frank Whiteley
