In the eighties took one of the guys I worked with for a ride there. It was a laugh. Since Jack Secret had long hair and the dark sunglasses never came off, there was an hour of interrogation.
Jack used Microsoft Flight Simulator every day on a Commodore 64, had no trouble flying the Blanik. So much for profiling.
There is one hangar left where the old Boulder City airport was. The glider office (temporary tower from North Las Vegas) is gone.
