2024 Contest

MSA will host the 2024 Region 2 Soaring Contest at Mifflin County Airport, from May 13 through May 19 (Monday through Sunday), with practice on Sunday, May 12. (Though not part of the contest, aerotows are expected to be available at Mifflin prior to May 12.)

Classes will include 18-Meter, 15-Meter, Standard and Sport. As for past Mifflin contests, 15-Meter and Standard classes may be merged into one FAI handicapped class, depending on the number of entries received.

Either a glider-mounted ELT (121.5 MHz / 406 MHz) or a satellite tracking device (e.g. SPOT or InReach) is required in every glider. A Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) that requires pilot action to activate is not an acceptable substitute.

To apply for entry, use the link under Online Registration at the SSA’s MSA contest web page.

You must complete on-site registration before any contest or practice-day flying. Registration (including collection of the balance of fees due, verification of registration paperwork, collection of signatures) will be available in the MSA clubhouse as follows:

    • Sunday May 12, 09:00 – 12:00
    • Monday, 09:00 – 10:00
