Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Gliding & Soaring Championships

Owl Canyon Gliderport, CO
November 5, 1994


This was the first appearance at an ICGSC since 1989 for the US Air Force Academy. They fielded a huge team of 8 cadets, 3 advisors, 2-126s and a 2-37, relying on dual flights in the OCGP 2-33 for the bomb drop event. Winch launching made the large number of pattern tows possible. The weather was not conducive to XC, but thanks to Mark Palmer for a nice talk on wave soaring, a more seasonal topic. Also thanks to the Colorado Soaring Association (George, Curt, Gary, Bill et al.) for yeoman work. Appreciation surfaced in SOARING (1/95, p. 4), authored by contestant Rich Klarich. Another tip of the hat to Tom Kim, whom I first met at SSA '94 in Chicago, who was so turned on by this contest notion he endured 40 hrs on a bus to come from Cahokia IL and Parks College of St. Louis U. Overall results:

1. USAFA (4584)   2. CU (3402)   3. Parks (2614)   4. CSU (1050)
