Growth in soaring
A question often asked is "Why has the glider activity declined?" In
1975 we would make about 150 flights on a Sat & Sun. Nothing like that now but we had our best year 2006 in a long time. The decline (I believe) is the competition for disposable time Vegas is many times larger, Indian Casinos abound. Water craft, off road vehicles etc all compete. A well known ride operator told me that 1800gliderrides expected to sell FOUR MILLION in rides in 2007. All sold on the internet. They have no operations of their own, but have about 900 domain names, most of them the same. USE CAUTION. fred |
