Howdy from west Texas! You are invited to the World Class (PW-5
sailplane) US National Contest will be held at Marfa, Texas June 19-29, 2006. Several entry positions available. Register today at www.ssa.org Our June contest dates will see the ultimate soaring conditions at Marfa - high and dry. NOAA climatology predicts warmer and drier conditions than recent years - back to the legendary soaring weather of the 1960's and 1970's. It will be "The SunShip Game" movie to be flown again! Social events planned by Ann "let's have a party" Byrd. Competition Director will be the one and only Charlie Spratt. Dennis Wright plans to run the line. Kathie Compton has been working her weather mojo. Burt has been making the Bermuda grass grow green around our big hangar. The scenery, the soaring conditions, our facilities and the people will be terrific. Click on our PW-5 button at www.flygliders.com for more contest info. PW-5 pilots Bill Snead, John Byrd, Tom McKnight and John Savage have been practicing at Marfa already. Aerotows available year-round. Low-time PW-5 pilots are welcome - you will learn a lot flying your PW-5 here with friendly, experienced pilots who are willing to share their knowledge. PW-5 enthusiasts are the friendliest of all soaring folk! So here's the plan: 1. Register today at www.ssa.org 2. Contact me in advance of visiting Marfa. 3. Bring a crew. 4. Soar Marfa - we'll show you a good time! Burt Compton, Master Flight Instructor / FAA Designated Pilot Examiner Marfa Gliders, west Texas website: www.flygliders.com cellphone: 800-667-9464 |
