Borntoglide:

You have pretty good answers already, so all I'll add is that you can
get a commercial rating in the world's best soaring site, AND get in
some fantastic soaring, at SoaringNV -- a new soaring operation in
Minden, Nevada. We're in a very scenic location and you can fly to
Reno (40 miles north of us) from just about anywhere in the world.

See our website at www.soaringnv.com We are competitively priced
for a commercial operation. Two weeks should do it,
