Local Soaring Awards
The Delbert
The Delbert Trophy is a traveling trophy which can be claimed by flying a glider between Stanton Airport (home of the Minnesota Soaring Club) and Osceola Airport (home of the Red Wing Soaring Association).
The flight would be about 59.8 miles if you could fly directly between the airports, but you must fly around the controlled airspace surrounding the Minneapolis airport, so the actual distance flown is more like 75 miles. After members of a club make the flight to claim the trophy, members of the other club know that they have been challenged to come and claim the trophy back. |
