Touchdown! Greaser!
... I'm seriously considering taking it up next year (or at least giving it the old college try).
A club nearby does give lessons. I'd probably have to join, I haven't called them yet for the details.
Is there a 'season'?
With a plane, as a renter, I can usually fly with less than a day of notice to the FBO to reserve a plane. How does being a renter with a glider compare? Scheduling the glider and tow-plane seems like it could be twice the trouble. Can it really be that spontaneous? Or does it usually depend on the club get-together schedule?
I'll probably spend some time checking the whole situation out, but I'd appreciate any advance information or comments on your own experiences.
Thanks,
Matt
