60 days to go! RSVP NOW for my Oktoberfest Vintage and Classic Sailplane Camp is October 12 to 28, 2018 at Marfa in southwest Texas, historic site of "The Sun Ship Game" (1969) film and the 15th National Landmark of Soaring. Come fly with me in my ASK-13 with the second open cockpit "Cabriolet" canopy.

This is a one-time event as I downsize Marfa Gliders with plans to retire.
Offered for sale: 1946 J-3 Cub (85 hp), ASK-13 with second "open cockpit" canopy, Schweizer 1-36 and my Standard Cirrus.

Marfa, Texas, Accommodations - WHERE TO STAY: Due to the popularity of Marfa, there is no "slow season!" Almost every weekend we host an art, film or music festival, therefore Marfa has become a popular year-round destination for tourists, artists, musicians and glider enthusiasts.

Hotel rooms can be limited so make a reservation soon (and RSVP with me if you are coming to my "Oktoberfest" Vintage and Classic Sailplane Camp)!
