Marfa Texas Wave Camp this week
OK Tony, but with your Cherokee "floater" who should complete your
cross country flights - just drift along until the sun sets. Classic end to a long XC - like in the old "Soaring " mags. When you call my cellphone from that field you've landed in, note that from April 17 - May 27 I'll be in soaring in Germany, so check the time difference (7 hours later from CDT?), as I may be asleep! Bring the Cherokee to west Texas someday for some rockin' straight-out downwind XC. You could fly it from Marfa back to Ames, Iowa. I'm considering awarding a cash prize for the longest yearly straight outs from Marfa in a "classic" (as defined by the Vintage Sailplane Ass'n.) or "antique" sailplane - like in the 1960's at Marfa - just get up and go. "Dollar A Mile from Marfa!" Yeehaw! Burt Marfa Gliders, west Texas USA www.flygliders.com |
