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.
