Do not know about Philadelphia.
I have picked up a glider in Baltimore. Other friends and I have had good experiences there if you do not find a location closer. RN |

I know that Bartco would not take on any new sailplane imports due to
problems they had with previous sailplane Owners. They will only customs clear sailplanes for past clients. FYI... stay away from PRIDE International.. I know that the guy at AIRSCHOTT INC. 2609 CABOVER DR SUITE 9&10 P.O. BOX 28673 HANOVER, MD 21076 (410) 863-4777 was or is a glider pilot...

Well, if Barthco no longer deals with glider guiders, I trust my
Spitzer dealer will set me up with the right agent. 2NO |

But you still need a broker or logistics firm at either end. |

Make SURE you pick up the glider during business hours so you can have them
unload the glider trailer from the cargo trailer. Otherwise, you might turn up at 8pm in Baltimore to find the trailer is up on the cargo trailer with no way to remove the glider trailer.

Baltimore is a little further away, but they have processed a lot of gliders over the years and the agent I used had a clerk that was very familiar with the process. The process went very quickly and was inexpensive. The Delaware port was only 15 minutes from my house, but the process took longer and the fees seemed much higher. Others experience may differ .... If I had a choice, I personally would use Baltimore ... KiloKilo |
