CISS / SSA Exhibit at AMA 75th Anniversary Celebration

A number of CISS members and families helped promote soaring and CISS at this event. Volunteers included Mike Nichols, Don Taylor, Lynn Joyce, Ron Clarke, Nyal Williams, Rick Hansen, Gardiner Dennis, Doug Heim, Larry Miller along with his wife and grandchildren, David Waymire along with his wife and daughter, John Day, Olaf Tessarzyk and his wife and son, Dick Hutchinson, and Emily Grant.

The Condor simulator was very popular and many future glider pilots had a chance to try their skills. Mike's Libelle also attracted a lot of attention including Shuttle Commander "Hoot" Gibson.

Everyones efforts paid off with 3 people coming from the event to Alex for FAST flights on Sunday afternoon. Several others have indicated they will be visiting the airport soon.

The SSA donated a FAST flight won in the raffle by Scott Marquette from Indianapolis.

As you can see, everyone seemed to be having fun and there was a lot of activity.
