Nephi, UT just got a tow plane from April - Aug!

Nephi is one of the hottest soaring destinations in the west (and for good reason), but up until now, we have only had tow options during organized events. We have finally been able to secure a strong 182 to tow up gliders from mid-April into August if we can just get enough glider pilots to come out and use it. What a great problem to have. You are all invited!

We have a dedicated tow pilot/cfi-g able to be at Nephi at least Fri-Sun every week during these months. If demand is strong enough, or if you make arrangements with him, he might be able to come other days as well. It gets better (yes Herb, I am marketing here), the Utah Soaring Association's newly rebuilt winch (440hp, 8000'+ rope!) is at Nephi and pilots are welcome to schedule their winch endorsement / winch currency training with us in one of our club's Twin Astirs. Come to Nephi in 2016, fly the winch, get tows, have a blast.

The Utah Soaring Association is hosting the 15m, Standard, and Open Nationals at Nephi on June 19-30 this year so we will not have another OLC/XC Camp until 2017. Why not get your club or a few friends together and come out to Nephi for 3-4 days with your ships and create your own safari/OLC time at Nephi? We are more than excited to help you make it happen and hopefully fly together with you.
