I live in Europe and will be relocating to New York City next spring. Which would be the closest airfield where I could keep a SLMG (doesn't necessarily need to be a glider club) or the closets airfield where gliders are operated (which and/or tow)? Any that you'd recommend in particular?
thank you

Hey Dan,

Kudos to Albuquerque soaring club for all those wonderful soaring flights y'all do over the summer. But you know what I find really interesting? If you look at all the OLC flights done in Blairstown since 2010, you will find that there are 25 flights over 1000 OLC points. On the other hand, there are only 5 for Moriarty. Not bad for the East and a soaring site from which you can clearly see NYC on a nice day.

Best,
Daniel

Hey Daniel,

I meant no disrespect for Blairstown soaring conditions. I have a
friend who flies there and am truly impressed with the flights he's had.
I was only referring to the prospect of living in the "City".

Cheers,
Dan
