Central Indiana Soaring Society at Alexandria, Indiana is
hosting the Women Soaring Society's 2008 Seminar.
Submitted by Cheryl Beckage and Marty Hudson, Seminar Chairs
Looking for a fun soaring event this summer? Mark your calendars
for June 23 to June 27 for the 2008 WSPA seminar. This is
your annual opportunity to meet with other women (and a few
men) who share your interest in soaring, explore other soaring
sites, and expand your own soaring skills. What better place
to venture cross-country than one with many safe places to
land!!
CISS was founded in 1960 with less than ten pilots. After
two moves and forty-seven years, it now has over seventy active
soaring pilots at Knotts' Field, Alexandria. The club has
hosted two successful Soaring Society of America National
Conventions, one in 1990 and another in 2001. This will be
its third hosting of a national event.
The club has two Pawnee tow planes with five or more tow pilots,
two Blanik L-23's and a Grob 103 that are available for use
by seminar participants. In addition, there are two single-place
ships, a PW5 and a Grob 102. Other ships may be recruited
for seminar use. There will be at least four CFIGs available
for attendees.
As usual, building additional flying skills will be a focus
of this year's WSPA seminar. Class sessions focusing on thermalling
techniques and cross country techniques in flat terrain are
planned as well as on other topics. Expect some visits from
some WWII airplanes, parachute jumpers and other surprise
guests. Opportunities for some new experiences will be offered,
as well.
Plan your trip now - this will be an exciting event! The best
commercial flight options to reach Alexandria will be either
Fort Wayne International Airport or Indianapolis International
Airport in Indianapolis. Both are about 90 minutes drive by
interstate highways. A rental car will be necessary to reach
our field. You may want to communicate with other attendees
to share a ride.
Dorms will be available at the following great prices:
3 beds to a room: $17 a day
2 beds to a room : $27 a day
$5.00 fee for bed linens for the week.
A deal that you can't pass up.
