Post Gazette story on Pittsburgh Soaring Club

| No TrackBacks

Jacqueline Feldman wrote a great article in the Sunday, August 21st Pittsburgh Post Gazette.

The article is here along with a nice video of the club in action.

The club's world-famous glider pilots will compete in local cross-country soaring (farther, faster, longer!), with weather and task briefings in the morning. Barbecues and cool drinks after flying in the evening, with some members staying over-night in tents to get an early start.

Regular instruction as well as demonstration rides for anyone who isn't a member yet and would like to see what it's like to soar with the birds. More information is available on this website.

Yinzer Glide t-shirts are in the making!
