All of this winch talk is great, and I would really love to take a
winch ride again (took a demo flight in Germany many years ago). Has
anyone compiled a list of winch sited in the states?

We have a fairly accurate database of US winch sites at the Yahoo Winch
Design Group:

Unfortunately, Yahoo won't let me make the database accessible to
non-members. Post you location and I'll post the relevant entries, or
join up if you like...
