Glider pilots from across the United States are competing in the 2022 Standard and 20-Meter Multi-Seat National Glider Competition from June 7-16 at the Sunflower Glider Port on the retired Naval Air Station near Yoder. The event is hosted by the Kansas Soaring Association. On the first day of the competition, 22 gliders were towed into the sky by tow planes. The competition began at 3 p.m. for the standard gliders and at 3:05 p.m. for the 20-meter, multi-seat gliders. Each pilot was given the flight task, which is a cross-country triangle course that they have to follow and then return to the glider port.
