Cup Scouts visiting GHSA...
Thank you to Connor for these pictures of the local Cub Scout group who visited GHSA today from 1130-1230! The group included 18 youth (Ranging in age from kindergarten through 5th grade) and their chaperones. All were amazed as they observed glider flights with takeoff/ landing narration, took a guided group tour of the Aviation Center, met pilots, and enjoyed a photo op with a glider.
What another fun day at the gliderport!
