Default Winching in Florida: Now!

I had a great time trying a few winch launches with Don at Immokalee Airport
(KIMM) today. Honest 2000' launches. If you have never tried a winch launch,
you have missed a great thrill in soaring.

He will be there a few more weeks and still has gaps in his schedule. Don't let
them go to waste!

Thanks, Wayne. I obviously managed to screw up a simple "cut& paste" operation.

Don will be winch launching at Immokalee (20 miles east of Naples & Ft.
Myers) thru the end of February. This is a great opportunity to get
winch qualified, while your family enjoys the local beach scene (it's 80
here today!!!).

Don is offering a $600 package deal for winch qualifying a glider pilot.
Included is up to 20 winch launches, use of his Grob & instruction. A
BFR is included at no addition charge.

For those of you who just want to get some winter flying in, the
Everglades Soaring Club is offering special weekly memberships for $100
/ week. This includes unlimited use of the club's L-13 and 1-26 (you
need to pay for tows). Note: If you are winch qualified, you can use
the club's gliders with Don's winch.

See http://www.evergladessoaring.traditions.com/ for more info.
