The Montague Glider Festival
The Montague Glider Festival will take place at/near Siskiyou
County Airport at Montague, California, from June 7 through June 15, 2014.
The Festival has evolved from the Montague Cross-Country Challenge; it
consists of three separate events: Scale Aerotow (June 7-8), GPS Racing
(June 9-11), and FAI Cross-Country June 12-15).
This is the 17th event organized by Dean Gradwell and his friends. Judging
by the meticulous execution, friendly and generous hospitality, and superb
yet challenging flying conditions of the previous 16 contests, this will
be a most notable soaring event in the US.
Concurrently with the RC Festival, Siskiyou County Airport will host
a full-size vintage glider fly-in. |
