Thanks to all those who replied!
I was just struck by the almost 'ghosly' image of an airfield embedded
into the vegetation. It is amazing to see how nature reclaims all
these structures. Just a shame that not one of these defunct
facilities are used for the sole purpose of soaring. Just imagine
having an 8,000ft runway set aside just for winch launching or auto-
towing!
Just dreaming...

It WAS used for soaring but the desert has taken it over. The Sunship
games was filmed there but now all gliding is at the new Marfa airport
north of town. Burt took me on a low level tour of it a couple years
ago in the C-150. Some of the brush was 20 feet high at least! You
can't even see any of it from ground level. You land there you die.
There is another one west of Marfa that you can find on sat photos.
