In the 1990's Mary Gaffaney's Kendall Gliderport was absorbed by the expansion of Everglades National Park and decommissioned as an airport, and Burt Compton established Miami Gliders Flight School at Richard's Field Airport. In 2003 Burt Compton sold the Miami Gliders name and some assets to Tom Mackie and Carlos Zuniga. Miami Gliders operated at Homestead Gen. Airport until March 14, 2005. The current glider operation at Homestead General Airport is ran by Unusual Attitudes Inc. The company is owned by Steve Diehl and operated by Angel Delguy since ealry 2005.
