Marfa Thermal & Wave Camp
March 19-26, 2005
Led by soaring legend Dick Johnson, glider pilots bring their
sailplanes to Marfa to thermal up to our springtime wave. Gold
Altitude plus, as we have a ATC Window to 30,000' msl. Marfa Airport
(MRF) field elevation is 5,000' msl. "Marfa Gliders" FBO operates
year-round providing aerotows, instruction and checkrides. Marfa is on
a grassy plateau between Carlsbad Caverns and Big Bend National Parks -
near the Davis Mountains of west Texas.

Fly where "The Sun Ship Game" soaring movie was filmed, and the site of
the 1970 World Soaring Contest. (Bob Wander has flown with us -
making two trips down to Marfa recently, so you know it's worth the
long trip to this beautiful soaring site!)

Visit Marfa anytime of year - we'll show you a good time!
