FSX Mission--Soaring In East Tennessee. It's a beautiful spring day for soaring at Chilhowee Gliderport. Thermals are popping up all over, and it's a good day for a short cross country flight to any of three nearby airports. After release from tow, climb to at least 6000 feet and make a safe landing. Get an extra reward for landing at one of the other airports. You may even share a thermal with another glider. By Ed Dumas, Sr.
