IVSM2012 Elmira (USA)


Elmira is known as the Soaring Capital of America. It is the cradle of the sport of soaring in the USA just as the Wasserkuppe is to Germany and Dunstable Downs is to England and therefore the National Soaring Museum (NSM) was founded on Harris Hill, Elmira and the International Vintage Sailplane Meets are held at this location. The very first Vintage Sailplane Regatta in the USA was organized back in August of 1974, by Jan Scott and a number of vintage sailplane owners.

This year, the International Vintage Sailplane Meet (IVSM), in its fifth edition, took place again at Harris Hill from June 30th to July 7th,, sponsored by NSM, the Vintage Sailplane Association (VSA) and the Harris Jill Soaring Corporation (HHSC).
