Work Party Recap + Sunday Ops Cancelled 10/03/26 — Katelyn Erthal
HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to support our work party earlier today. We were blessed with great company, great food, and great weather! Significant strides were made with our clubhouse refresh, giving the fleet showers, and tons of tire changes. Unfortunately, our post-BBQ operation was marred by a tow plane grounding, but at least we had Drew's blondies! Sunday Ops will be cancelled as our maintenance team works towards restoring the tow plane to operational status. Looking forward to seeing you all out on the line soon! :)

Pierre’s Feature - 1-26 National Championships 09/29/26 — Katelyn Erthal
Good morning all, As you may or may not have seen yet, one of our own was featured in an article for the latest SSA magazine. Pierre’s achievements were showcased in the 2026 1-26 National Championships in Hinckley, IL. The Windy City Soaring Association hosted the championship from May 13 to May 20, 2026. Pierre scored 14/22 with a total of 1619 points overall! A message from the pilot himself “ If you've ever thought about checking out a 1-26 glider contest (maybe first as crew), Region 4 at MASA is happening nearby this October and they should have a few 1-26 competing.” https://midatlanticsoaring.org/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=218612&module_id=310488 For a copy of the article, click the link https://magazine.ssa.org/ and log in using your SSA ID# and password.
