Default XC training fundraiser for US Junior Team

Garret Willat's Junior Soaring Team 'Stemme for a Day Program'
Fly with two time U.S. soaring team pilot Garret Willat in a high
performance motor glider Stemme S10VT for the day in beautiful Warner
Springs California. While the experience is tailored to your personal
needs this is your chance to experience cross country and practice
competition techniques from a highly ranked 4000 hour certified flight
instructor and team pilot. Lodging at a memorable Resort or highly
rated Bed & Breakfast is included. Your tax-deductible donation will
help fund the US Junior Soaring Team in World Gliding Championships.

A great way to prepare for the summer . A re-fresher for not having
flown most of the winter, to sharpen your skills and improve your Cross
Country soaring skills. An enjoyable day and evening for your spouse at
a memorable resort or Bed and Breakfast. All this while making a
donation to the US Junior Soaring team to help Garret Willat and Mike
Westbrook compete in the Junior World Soaring Championships this summer
in the United Kingdom.

Garret will be giving a 1 day camp style flying experience. With the
use of George Klopfer's Stemme S10VT we will work on the skills of
your choice. We can fly a first cross country, we can emphasize
specific skills, fly a badge style flight or set a racing task and
learn start cylinders and turn point tricks. This could be counted for
a flight review. This flying combined with the rest of the day
discussing topics covering glider preparation, mental preparation,
tactics, and different flying skills. Included is a 1 night stay at the
Warner Spring Ranch or Orchard Hill Country Inn.

Garret is a 3 time member of the US Soaring team, twice as pilot
www.ssa.org/UsTeam/ He is a full-time flight instructor and towpilot
for Sky Sailing with over 4000 hours in gliders. He has flown in many
national and regional contests, including winning in Standard Class at
the last Region 9 contest, and placed second at the 2004 Australian
Junior Nationals. He was coached by 3 time world champion George Lee
at one of his junior training camps see Feb 2005 Soaring for a full
article.

This incredible opportunity is for you to fly one of the most
sophisticated sailplanes today and to help support the US Junior
Soaring Team. With the engine on, the S10-VT has cruise speeds of up
to 140 knots (160 MPH). With the engine off, it glides up to 50:1. See
www.stemmewest.com

This flying will be a memorable experience with priceless information
learned. Not only is this a great flying experience but the
accommodations are first class. Newly licensed glider pilot Darrell
Straube and his wife, owners of the Orchard Hill Country Inn, have
generously donated rooms at their four star Bed and Breakfast
www.orchardhill.com. The Warner Springs Ranch is a rustic resort
nestled 2 miles from the airport www.warnersprings.com.

This is an opportunity to not pass up, work on flying skills, stay at a
lovely resort, and help support the US Junior Soaring Team.

There will be 4 days total ending April 3, 4, 5, 6
