Season Passes available from Soaring NV in Minden

Hi Jim
Don’t get me wrong, thanks for posting the info, and as I previously mentioned, for the guy who is gonna do a concentrated year of Minden xc flying that yearly deal IS a good one with the inclusion of the unlimited tow-homes. Its only the individual tow charges and the $25 ground help fee that are problematic to me. I think a better business model would be to provide unlimited ground help if needed at no charge and a standard rate for tows, teaching their tow pilots how to tow and get down with maximum efficiency. Thats where money is made and lossed.
My rants about the “good-ole-days� at Minden are just that, namely reminicence of days and attitudes long gone, at least as far as Minden is concerned. It changed from being a friendly/free relatively inexpensive place to fly into a restrictive rich man only playground many years back, long before the present commercial operators came to the scene. I was just hoping things would begin to chance back to more like it used to be, but I just don’t see that happening.
As for this next year, I will be going a much different route for great basin flying. I will be coming up there to fly out of various other locations using 2,000 ft of spectra for auto tows. There are dry lake/dirt road areas I know of which provide good high auto tow capability in locations more advantageous for early starts on long xc flights of low performance machines.
