Sheena gets ready to launch

The Tucson Soaring Club (TuSC) was formed in November of 1967 and operated out of Ryan Field. There were 25 charter members. In 1983, the club moved to Marana Number 5 Auxiliary Field (a field used during WWII). The members cleared the brush for runways and built the hangars. The field was named El Tiro Gliderport after the road which leads to the airport.

Other News
Cross Country Team Meeting Jan 10th 2009 at El Tiro 10:00 AM!

The 1-34 has returned to El Tiro!    We will be recruiting a team to do work so that we can have it back on the line flying soon.

Contact Mike Donica to assist with the Pawnee fuselage recover prep.
Contact Kevin Purcell to assist with sanding and finish work on wings of 880.
 
Students contact the Chief Flight Instructor if you have trouble finding a slot with a Duty Instructor and ask him to put on more Duty Instructor 2s. Also remember that students land primarily on 26L and that should also be the 1st choice for all of the 2 place ships. Solo students need to have an instructor on the ground when they launch. Just a reminder folks.


For September 8th to january 17th Grob 880 will be down for Maintenance, Students book 48W instead.

Parachutes: A reminder, if you use a parachute then at the end of the day put it back in its bag and hang it up or seal it in one of the large tubs. If you will be keeping it overnight let Greg Armstrong know.

All members interested in creating a monthly or so Newsletter please contact Ryan Spicer or Robert Lindeman. We have an Editor, Ryan Spicer!  We still want Writers and Photograpers.
