Soaring at Hinckley Field

On September 10 our chapter traveled to Hinckley Airport in Hinkley, IL to visit the Windy City Soaring Association. This trip was a follow up to Joe Nemec’s presentation on glider flying given at our April chapter gathering. The weather was beautiful, and fifteen of our chapter members experienced a flight in a glider. Members of the Windy City Soaring Association overwhelmingly welcomed EAA 932, and provided an awesome time for us. After we arrived, they gave us a safety briefing on glider operations, and then proceeded to take us on flights. They also put out an amazing spread of food for us to enjoy. It was a picture perfect day to spend out in the country. Many thanks go out to Windy City Soaring for their hospitality. Everyone in attendance agreed that this would be a great event to repeat next year!
