Koltad Scholarship Opportunity for CISS Youth Members

Here is an opportunity for any youth solo student who has earned their C Badge. What could be better than having fun flying and having an opportunity to make it help pay for school.

Congratulations Ron Clarke an Outstanding Flight

On Monday June 13, Ron Clarke had the longest flight in the United States posted on the OLC with a scored distance of 533 km. During his 6 hour 58 minute flight he went up to Bryan Ohio and logged a total straight line flight distance of 395.6 miles according to the SeeYou statistics. He only spent 27% of the flight time thermaling in average thermals of 3 kts. Maximum altitude on the flight was 7146 ft.

Ron has been been encouraging CISS members to participate in the OLC and help the club win the Region 6 competition. This flight shows we have an excellent leader. Congratulations Ron.
