Yeehaw! Several Texas state soaring records have been bested -
usually within weeks of the previous records as exceptional soaring continues at Marfa in west Texas. Mark Gray, Chris Ruf, Joe Flores, Bruce Fox and Tim Garner all set new records recently. Many FAI soaring badge claims are also being filed. Read all about it in "Soaring" magazine in a few months, OR you can bring your sailplane to Marfa NOW. For ten days in late August, we close our hangar doors while we travel to the International Vintage Sailplane Meet (IVSM) on Harris Hill near Elmira, NY August 20 - 27. See www.soaringmuseum.org for details about IVSM. Go watch the vintage wood & fabric gliders and classic sailplanes fly, and visit the newly expanded soaring museum on Harris Hill. We will return to Marfa before Labor Day weekend, reopening September 3. Always good soaring at Marfa from March thru October - and training / FAA glider pilot checkrides year-round. We'll help you meet your goals, and show you a good time! Burt & Kathie Compton Marfa Gliders, west Texas www.flygliders.com 800-667-9464 |
