Hello from Wichita, KS, Home of the Beechcraft Factory and the [u]Wichita International Gliderport[/u]. This is a great place to come to pick up a new Beechcraft or Hawker and to experience the [u]Joy of Soaring[/u]. We have people from all over the world come to Wichita to fly gliders with us. I came to Wichita in 1984 to work at the Beech Factory Training Center developing King Air Training and Instructing in the cockpit systems simulators. Later FlightSafety purchased the training operation and I worked for them a couple of years. I fly and instruct in the whole range of aircraft from Gliders to Bonanzas Barons and Cessna 421s. My most qualified 'student' is an experimental flight test pilot on 747s and the Airbus 380. I worked with him on his Private Glider rating. My favorite aircraft these days are motorgliders. I enjoy instructing, delivering and helping buyers find motorgliders and owners find buyers. If you want to try soaring when you come to Wichita or want some instruction or an experienced pilot to fly home with you or to deliver your aircraft or just someone to talk to - give me a call or send me an email.

Welcome aboard Dave, I spent about 2 1/2 years at McConnell back in the early/mid 70's. Nice town.

Dave,

I'm in Kansas City. Might want to come over some Saturday and try the glider. Sounds like fun and I have always wanted to try gliding. I'll get things sorted out over here and get in touch with you. Could you provide a little more info here on your glider operation. What do you fly? How far in advance do we need to schedule?

Thanks in advance.

Robert

Welcome, Dave!

I've just been reading the motorglider article in the current Sport Aviation. That sounds like a hoot. I'll look you up on my next trip to Wichita.

Thank you for the warm welcome. This is a friendly forum!
...Ron- I like your web site...

Thank you Dave.

It looks like you're wearing a five-point harness either outside of your plane or in the plane with a home in the background. Do you live in a fly-in community?

Ron,
I was sitting in a Taifun 17E at Hilltop Lakes (0TE4) a fly-in community between Houston and Dallas on a Delivery Flight from Houston, TX to Wichita. The shadow is the frame of the windshield. I had stayed all night there to see the owner of an RF4D which was my first motorglider delivery.
