I flew out of the old Boulder City airport in the late 70's to early 80's. At that time we were flying 2-33's, 1-26's, and a Blanik. The operation was Desert Soaring run by Dick McKnight. Dick was a WWII glider veteran and a wonderful guy who always had an unlit cigar in his mouth. Lots of great memories flying there!
