Comments  - A 360 view from a P-51, in formation with an F22. You can use the arrows in the upper left corner to change the view, or hold down the left "mouse" button to do the same. Pretty neat-

Dave,
Can you pass this along to your Atlanta area pilots and friends?

The Mid Georgia Soaring Association (MGSA) which is one of the oldest glider clubs in the Southeast is currently looking for a qualified pilot to tow gliders for them. 
They operate mostly on the weekends from March thru November out of the Monroe Airport on the southeast side of Atlanta (D73).

This would not be every weekend as they have some members that can tow but not enough are available so they need some assistance.

Their tow plane is a 235 HP Piper Pawnee former crop-duster that is professionally maintained and hangared at Monroe.

Anyone meeting the following criteria please contact me:

• Private Pilot Airplane rating or higher
• 200 hr PIC in Category/Class
• 50 hr and 100 takeoffs and landings as a tailwheel PIC on pavement as a minimum.
• High Performance Endorsement

Prior towing experience and glider flying experience would be preferred.

This would be a great opportunity for someone to fly and be compensated for their efforts.

If anyone knows someone who is interested or qualified please contact me and I will coordinate.

Thanks,
