Each year we escape the NY winter with a trip to Bermuda High Soaring in sunny South Carolina. This year we did 104 flights, 2 check rides, a 2+ hour flight, several personal best altitude gains, and lots of thermalling/gaggle experience.

Congratulations to Scott Ashcraft and Sandra Ryder for getting new ratings at Bermuda High! Scott earned his private pilot glider license, and Sandra Ryder earned her commercial rating!

A huge thanks to CFIG Patrick Parks, DPE Franklin Burbank, CFIG Sean Murphy, tow pilot Mike Horner, and line assistant Scott Hendrickson. by @harris_hill

2024 marked the 8th International Vintage Sailplane Meet (IVSM) and the Vintage Sailplane Association’s 50th anniversary. The IVSM is the premier vintage sailplane meet in the United States. Since 1995 it has featured the largest number of vintage sailplanes on display and flying at one spot on the North American continent.

This year over 2 dozen vintage gliders made it to Harris Hill for the event. Several of them were trailered in from the west coast. Some 40 pilots registered to participate and an estimated 140 participants and visitors enjoyed the flying and events. The international community was well-represented with groups from the United Kingdom, Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland, and Canada. Mornings featured a “sailplane of the day” and talks about a wide variety of glider history topics. Other than two weather days (one rainy and one windy), afternoons saw the skies over Harris Hill filled with vintage (and a few modern) gliders. Flying conditions were great and many pilots enjoyed long flights over the hills and valleys of New York State.

The International Vintage Sailplane Meet was made possible through the collaboration of the Harris Hill Soaring Corporation (HHSC) the National Soaring Museum (NSM) and the Vintage Sailplane Association (VSA). The National Soaring Museum provided its elegant museum facilities atop Harris Hill and handled registration, information, meeting venues, gathering spaces and weeklong activities. The HHSC provided flying operations, tows, check rides and introductory flights for visitors, from its home on the scenic, world-famous Harris Hill Gliderport. The VSA marshalled its members to acquire, restore, refurbish and fly their gliders during the meet and organized a fascinating slate of speakers and displays. by @harris_hill
