I soar in Mexico all of the time!

Did I get your attention? Ok, I'll come clean: I launch from El Paso, TX,
and take full advantage of (CFR 99.1) that says that as long as I stay
within 10nm of my launch field, I can cross the ADIZ freely. During the
winter months with weak instability, I scratch my way across the border and
find stronger thermals where the Mexican's are burning brush along the Rio
Grande. During stronger soaring conditions I can't cross the ADIZ, because
I fly much greater distances, and don't meet the requirements of (CFR 99.1).

The area surrounding Chihuahua, Mexico looks awesome for soaring, and I've
strongly considering getting a self-launching 18m sailplane to take
advantage of it. There are massive lines of rugged mountains that certainly
have strong slope-induced thermals during the summer. I'm sure Mexico has a
bright soaring future!
