Marfa Texas Wave Camp this week
March 31 - April 7
The annual Marfa Thermal and Wave Camp is underway with early arrivals Dave Raspet, Rolf Seibert, Randy Teal, Jim Hardy using blue thermals to contact a bit of wave. Mentor and soparing legend Dick Johnson will arrive today, and we expect 20+ sailplanes by tomorrow. Steve Leonard, collector of classic glass sailplanes, is bringing his rare BS-1 (last year it was the Glasflugel 604). We're enjoying 100 mile visiblity and our "wave window" is open to 30,000'. Marfa Airport in west Texas is at 5,000' msl field elevation, near the Davis Mountains between Carlsbad Caverns and Big Bend National Parks. Joe Grimes of Oklahoma earned his Private Glider rating with me yesterday and is ready to buy a glider! So y'all visit us sometime for year-round thermals, wave, great scenery and to finish that glider rating!
