What would the tasks have been if LSF had been born on the East
Coast? LSF was formed as a local California group to promote
sailplane flying back in 1969 and the achievement tasks were
developed to suit local conditions that allowed long thermal flights,
long slope flights, and lots of wide open spaces for cross
country. At that time, the other major group promoting soaring was
the East Coast Soaring Society. Imagine what tasks ECSS would have
developed for the weak lift, wooded hills and tree lined roads
of Pennsylvania, New York, and New England.
