Default Texas Glider Rally / Dick Johnson Wave Camp April 4 - 11 at Marfa


APRIL 4 - 11, 2009 TEXAS GLIDER RALLY / DICK JOHNSON WAVE CAMP

Marfa in southwest Texas, the 15th National Landmark of Soaring, will
host our annual thermal / wave camp for your "personal best" flights.
Wave Window to 30,000' msl. Marfa Airport (MRF) is almost 5,000' msl
on a grassy plateau near the Davis Mountains and Big Bend National
Park. This is a "bring your own sailplane and crew" camp. Not a
competition, not a training camp. 100 hours of glider pilot
experience is recommended. You will need oxygen installed in your
sailplane. Advance registration required as capacity is limited with
3 towplanes.

APRIL 10th -- We will honor the late Dick Johnson, soaring legend and
our mentor, with a special evening with his family at the Hotel
Paisano in Marfa.

Please register in advance with Burt Compton at
so we can get a count of sailplanes / pilots and best facilitate your
visit to this legendary soaring site.
