Sailplane Silence At Wil-Tarson County Airport Thrills Pilots
Sailplanes rise without motors, gliding on wind and thermals. Aeroflite Inc. operates a Schweiz aircraft used by twenty pilots from Wil- Tarson County Airport. Tow rope launches cost 8.50 and flight rates run 12 per hour with instructor. Stoker notes the thrill of quiet air and wind sounds as the main attraction, with gliders reaching around 38 to 40 mph and cruising height up to 2,000 feet. The new plane aims at 500 pounds more, to be used largely in Anna and Janeshora area.
