I might not have been clear at the beginning. Our camps that we are doing have all the tow planes (6 for Nephi and 4 for Logan) and pilots already worked out. We are great there. This search is for the rest of the year for when we want to fly Nephi and all of you want to come outside of a camp week and come fly with us.
With Parowan having quieted down glider operations over the last 5 years, and I am not sure of the future plans in Ely - I've heard some tow planes are for sale, Nephi can and will become a prime destination for many who want to come visit with their gliders and come soar Utah and the Great Basin. We just need to get you all up in the air.
We are very interested in winching and are planning on doing winching in Nephi very heavily some day. We need critical mass though. We are planning on having 5 gliders (4 private ships and one club ship) based there for the 2015 season. We just don't have critical mass yet of local pilots to effectively do a winch operation. In 2-3 years, we should have 20+ private ships based there and we will be to the point where the local pilot numbers can support a winch. It is in the plan!
Thanks,
