Gliderport below IFR arrival route into Newark?
Hi everyone,
apporaching Newark (KEWR) yesterday on the FLOSI2-arrival, I noticed an airfield with at least ten gliders aligned close to the runway just in the vicinity of point CRANK (N41°25.00'W074°23.33'), which we crossed in 6000 ft. Google maps did not help me much, I also could not find any suitable airfield in OLC. Which airfield did I see? Could be interesting to visit during a stopver... Thanks for you help! Helge

Helge Don't they give you airline guys VFR sectionals anymore??? :-) Looks like you were looking at the Middleton airport and Valley Soaring club. Never flown there but sky vector and google work well Pete

Yeah, the closest glider port to those coordinates is Randall....Valley
Soaring Club If you are in Newark, other possibilities are Blairstown Airport/Gliderport, (about an hour and a quarter drive)....Check OLC...#2 airfield!! Also Wurtsboro, which is 7days a week operation, just beyond Randall A bit further out is PGC, and VanSant...
