Welcome
to the East Carolina Soaring Club
We are a small but growing
chapter of the
SSA (Soaring Society of America). We joined together
as a club in July 2008 to promote the sport of soaring. If you want to
learn to fly or you're already a pilot and
 would like to
add a glider rating, please come join us. If you're
undecided and would like to take an introductory ride,
check out our
Rides page for more information. If you have any
questions please contact anyone
on the
contact list.
Where Can You
Find Us?
We're located on the
Flanagan Field (N08)
airport, three miles east of Farmville North Carolina on
US 264 Alternate. Take a look at
MapQuest. You can find us flying at the field on most
good weather weekends or you can check the
Soaring Schedule for our status.

Nice Super
Cub Picture
Sunday afternoon, October 17th, Farmville resident George Oakey was
on the dirt road at the south end of the strip taking soaring pics. I
had noticed him on a few of the K7 tows so after the last rope drop I
flew through the slot to get a better look. George rewarded me by
sending this cool picture.

Taft Stallings Takes a Ride
Everybody's
trying to out do each other with the nice digital SLR cameras lately. I
believe Taft was shooting with a Cannon. Taft has provided some really
great pictures he took on August 28th.

David Stowe's Schweizer 2-33 is Assembled
 On
Sunday afternoon, 11/07/08, the gang took a break from
soaring and hung the wings on N233AH. Club member David
Stowe purchased the 2-33 earlier this year and has been
working on her ever since. The wings and fuselage were
cleaned up and polished to get rid of the dirt acquired
from being in storage so many years. She now sports new
interior panels, seat belts, canopy, main tire, variometer
and wing tip landing gear. She also received some touch up
paint on the fuselage as well as fresh fabric on the door,
elevator and horizontal stabilizer. The 2-33 also has a
new N-number. Hopefully she'll be flying next weekend.
More pics coming soon.

Schweizer 2-33 Flies Again
Saturday, 11/13/10, provided some beautiful weather for a
first flight. This 2-33 hasn't flown in twenty years.
Owner David Stowe made the first flight solo and then
followed it up with a very special passenger (his wife).
Four other club members also made flights in the Schweizer.
We even had a guest fly his beautiful clipped wing J-3 Cub
in from Raleigh for a soaring flight. It was another fine
day at Flanagan Field..
