Glider display at local high school

Yesterday the Hollister Soaring Center displayed a glider belonging to the Bay Area Soaring Associates club at the San Benito High School in Hollister.  The glider was disassembled at the airport, stowed in its custom trailer and towed to the center of the school campus where it was assembled by four pilots in 15 minutes.  At lunchtime we showed the sailplane to any and all who were interested.
The glider used was the DG-505, a state of the art German two-place high-performance sailplane:  http://www.dg-flugzeugbau.de/kurzbeschr-500-e.html

Jim, a glider pilot instructor, and Andrew, a private pilot who started his training at 14(age to solo) and earned his license to fly gliders before he had his driver's license, were ready with all the answers!

It appears that our youthful sailplane pilot is just as interesting to this student as the glider is.  Whatever works to get our youth interested in something other than video games and Facebook!

Here we have Quest, the HSC manager, explaining the fine points to a student and his coterie:
