      2020 Women’s World Gliding Champion ~ Standard Class

Want to promote soaring not only on a local level, but also on a national level?  Do you want to do something important for the sport, and have FUN doing it?  Want to increase the bank account of your club or organization?  There are many, many advantages to hosting an SSA sanctioned contest, and we are inviting you to be a part of it.

We are enjoying a classic contest in Hobbs through the work of the SSA, the local clubs and volunteers. The ramp at Hobbs is an enormous 90 acres of concrete. The associated runways make for a spectacular facility. But the industrial airport is aging and needs our help. Grass, trees and dirt are starting to overrun the airport. Two years ago the informal Hobbs Maintenance Fund was created to help fund needed maintenance.
