Sailplane Rides in northern NH?
Hello.
I was wondering if there are any good places to take a paid sailplane ride in the White Mountains region. This is for a birthday present. I've done some googling and have discovered there is a glider field in Franconia, NH and another one in Gorham, NH. I've also run across www.soarfranconia.org. It appears from the website that the Franconia group is members-only and doesn't do commercial rides (though the field appears to be assoacted with a local inn). There's also "Mt. Washington Sky Adventures" in Gorham, NH which does do commercial rides. So I guess, 1) Does the Franconia site do commercial rides, or is it club-only? 2) What's the repution of each place? 3) Is it still good soaring season? 4) What should one look for ask/about to maximize the chances of a pleasurable experience? Thanks much! -- Rich Carreiro |
