Sorry for jumping in here where I don't belong, but could you, seaduck, maybe drop me an e-mail on [email protected] (Wild is my last name, not some made up crap...:o ) I live and go to school in Germany and if you don't mind, I would like to ask some questions. As you only have two posts, I cannot pm you, that's why I just come into this thread like this. Sorry again!

Vielen Dank und liebe Gruesse aus dem feucht-kalten Hamburg

Jakob: Assuming I could get a long layover in Koln or Frankfurt, wherewould one go to do some glider flying? Thanks. :)

Sorry, saw the VF-111 Sundowner landing on das boat. I was a Screaming Eagle, many moons ago.

Sorry for the late answer. I didn't read your post earlier! I must say, I do not know about Frankfurt or Koln. I live in Hamburg and I know some places around here, most of them are not open in the wintertime. I can not fly until March or April either. I know one place to fly around Munich, but I don't think, FedEx flies there, do they?
If you come to Hamburg for some reason though, just contact me, I would be more than happy to fly you around or at least bring you to some place where you can fly! I don't have my rating yet. I hope I'll get it done next year.
I'd love to do this for anyone on here! I hardly ever have contact to Americans here so that would be great!;)

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Jakob
