Seminole-Lake Gliderport

The entire team extends our heartfelt condolences to the Robinson family. We keep them in our thoughts and prayers as they face this unimaginable loss. May they find comfort in the memories shared and strength in the support of the community ❤️ Amen!

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of one of our tow pilots, Cole Robinson. Cole had been flying at Seminole-Lake since 2018 as a member of the Lakeland Aeroclub, and last year he joined our team as a weekend tow pilot.
Cole, you will be deeply missed. Fly high.🤍
