The CAP is shutting down their glider program

[Charlie Longley]

I suppose this means Ephrata as well. I wonder if they’re going to sell off their glider fleet? Their L-23’s seem to be in decent shape.

Interesting idea, but their biggest asset are the kids. I wonder if SGC with the help of one or two clubs can provide instruction as student members. We could use the new blood and get a package deal: gliders AND recruits!!

Including their instructors. We just need to find some private funding to continue their program as an SGC program. 

Soaring flight is the pursuit of green energy
