I am driving the RV with glider in tow to Oshkosh next week, after, I am driving to upstate NY, are there any gliderports/clubs along the route that offer guest tows to visiting pilots? Maybe rv camping close, Say in the eastern Wisconsin, lower Michigan, northern Illinois, northern Ohio western NY northern PA areas? I won't be staying in one place too long a day/tow or two at most. Just want to see and meet other places/pilots maybe some xc

Being generally a western pilot I have little knowledge of places to fly on the weekdays in the east! Thanks for your responses!


Harris Hill & the National Soaring Museum are open 7 days a week until Labor Day.


My impression was that he WAS headed to HH where the Std/15M Nationals
happen at the end of the month. Maybe I'm reading too much into the question.

Anyway, you'll mostly find flatland flying along the way. There's some big
clubs at Chicago and Caesar Creek, e.g. Further over you get into hilly
flying, including Ridge Soaring and Harris Hill, of course. Even further
over are Blairstown and Middletown, NY, but they're a little past where
he seems to be going. Still, they're only a few hours more driving from Elmira.
