No - do tell! Inquiring minds want to know! What is the towing situation for Parowan, UT?

Hi Uli,
Ya I guess I shoulda explained. There are tows from a guy named John Templeton, starting end of this month. The time I wanted to go there the powered glider people are having a camp, and taking up all the ramp and tows. So, as long as you don't wanna go the 3rd week in June, there'll be tows from a 182.
Call Parowan Air services and they'll get you in touch.

Thanks for the update! Already got plans for that time frame but hopefully in 2018, the tow plane will be available, too. Parowan is a great place to fly at. :-)

John says he will be available to tow at Parowan with a 182 after June 3rd. He will tow during the ASA camp June 13-25 for those participating in the camp. If there are gliders needing tows after the camp he will stay in Parowan and tow. He plans to go to Ely to tow after Parowan. The schedule is set by where the gliders need tows. He plans to tow until the end of July.. (Oshkosh) He says, "I will go where the gliders are".

Everything Dan has sad is TRUE. I've heard there are 12 are so folks planning to fly at Ely first couple of weeks of July and I have offered to fly Keith Essex's 182 there. I'm off to Oshkosh after that, but I'll be talking to Keith to see if another pilot will fly Ely last part of July and into August.

The towpilot who towed at Parowan and then went to Ely is now sitting in
the rain at OshKosh, last I knew.
