Hey Cliff,



Can you tell us more about the Glider training? I started working on a 

Glider rating a few years ago but our local club moved. Is the place in Reno 

set up to get a person a rated? If so maybe I could join you there for some 

training.

 I'll be in Reno (Stead I think) on May 6 to do some glider training.

Cliff... I've always gone to Minden (Douglas County Airport) since they 

appear to be more soaring oriented there.

I used to spent a weeks vacation there when I lived in LA.. just towed my 

glider up there....

If I went to the closer Mojave Desert, work would call and want be to come 

in for a day since I was so close...:

)

Minden is better for cross country flying...

Any reason you pick Reno-Stead over Minden?

I earned my glider rating at Fremont Skysailing and flew there in the '70's as a teenager, a year before being introduced to Grummans.  What great memories.

Minden is probably the most logical place, but I have a friend who is a CFI 

glider instructor who has a friend who may rent me his glider and there is a 

club north of Reno on a private strip where I might take some lessons.

Good reason...



I presume the strip you are talking about is Air Sailing?



I spent a very good week there at a Cross Country Training camp with my 

Mini-Nimbus.



The weather is very variable, but the locals had it pegged in a way I 

haven't seen before...

I always remembered having a morning briefing in a metal hangar with rain 

falling very loudly, and having the day declared good.  Sure enough, by 

1:00 pm we were off on a 100+ mile cross-country.  At any other glider 

port, the pilots would have just stayed in bed!!
