For anyone interested in this, here is some additional information from the
guy who runs the Devine operation. It would be helpful (but I suspect not
absolutely required) if you would 'register' and put up a deposit if you
are planning to show early. This guy is just trying to make sure he
doesn't lose any money on the deal, so support your local towpilot! ;-).

Great,
Please tell them to go on my website to register so that I could keep
track of who's who and doing what. Please tell them to deposit $50.00 on
paypal at for first tow. This will guaranty us who is
coming and when.I also need N number for aircraft and make and model plus
15 meters or?
Thanks

For anyone interested in pre-contest flying at Uvalde, Andy McQuigg
(EA) has arranged with the owner of the Devine, Texas soaring center
(http://www.learn2soar.net/) to bring one or two of his towplanes to
Uvalde for the week of 28 July to 1 August.

We already have enough pilots to guarantee one towplane, and another
will be added if warranted. If you are interested, please reply to
this post and/or send an email to so that the
towplane operator can plan on a second towplane and pilot if
necessary.

Andy did a heck of a job getting this arranged, and I for one am
grateful. I've never flown Uvalde, so the ability to get acquainted
with the soaring area (and the heat, I'm told!) is a great deal.
