National Soaring Museum

My original destination today was the Corning Museum of Glass. It's been my destination for two days. Instead, I got side-tracked and ended up at the National Soaring Museum. I don't have much to say about it, just lots of pictures. They had gliders ranging from models of the Wright Bros.' pre-powered planes to modern day gliders.

I went up in one in 1996-1997 sometime. It was a fabulous adventure, but I was surprised at how noisy they were. The newest gliders are relatively quiet. I wanted to go up in one today. Unfortunately, they cut their flights down to just weekends since Labor Day. Most of their help is from college kids who are now back in school. Enjoy:
