Have you seen the new SSA 'Where to fly' web-site?

Very, very cool. Thanks for that, Frank.
It looks like maybe they are pretending the 1-26 is
actually
a 152?

I couldn't quite make out the small #s on the tail,
so
can't look it up, but there ain't no 1-26, 2-33, or
2-22
registered in LA according to aircraft reg. database...so
yep, maybe registered elsewhere...

Maybe they are registered off shore.

Louisiana, if my memory serves,

Alll of the other states had at least one of these
venerable gliders.

One wonders if this is because of lack of soaring
conditions or if there are other factors (too
much other fun stuff to do).

The Reno area

It would be nice to be a ble to select a radius, then
either click on
the map, or enter a zip code.

There appear to be some borderline area captures.
Click on Wyoming, for
example. Owl Canyon, Driggs, and Rapid City pop-up,
but not Bozeman. So
there is some 'distance value' at work. Wyoming has
no organized SSA
soaring organizations. Note also that North Dakota
and Louisiana are
dimmed. Apparently both no SSA organizations and the
nearest are beyond
the 'distance value'. This 'distance value' can probably
be adjusted if
deemed necessary.
