Team Lighthorse which was a small competitive soaring team in the late 70's early 80's with one pilot (Ken "Lighthorse" Leamy) and two spotters, Has now changed its name to Team YCS. It will still keep the symbol of the horses head that ken has had since the army for it's logo (Click Here). York County Soaring is expanding and enlarging the team and looking for a couple of pilots and spotters to add to the original team members.
