Want to give a sailplane ride or lesson gift to an R/C glider modeler in Washington state.
Not interested in a club of the local banner tow business who only does it part-time.
Thank. kb

If you're in Southern Washington, you can go across the river to Oregon, drive west on Highway 26 to North Plains, and you'll find a gliderport there.

Kb,
Check out the glider operation at Arlington Airport, about 40 miles north of Seattle on Interstate 5. They fly Blanik L-23s out of there, and some privately-owned sailplanes. The Boeing glider club flies there. This is the home of the big EAA fly-in every July.

Also, Ephrata Airport in Eastern Washington is the hotspot for glider guys who want boomer thermals all spring/summer/fall. The Seattle Glider Council flies there.
