Soaring Safety Foundation Wing Runner Course

At the airport recently there has been a lot of conversation about the Soaring Safety Foundation course for Wing Runners. This is an excellent course for anyone helping with launching gliders and best of all it is free. It is also highly recommended for glider pilots who may not be running wings.

If you would like to take advantage of this valuable training, just go to the following link:

 After completing the test, print out your certificate and proudly post a copy on the bulletin board in the office at the airport.

Good luck!
