See www.flygliders.com Likely the most fun rating to earn, with personal instruction by Burt Compton, Master/Gold Seal CFI-Glider/Airplane. Located in the high-country of Marfa, Texas, site of many US National Soaring Contests. Big, quiet airport with two, long, into-the-wind runways. MRF field elevation is almost 5,000' so the weather is mild year-round. We are on a grassy plateau, near the Davis Mountains, between Carlsbad Caverns and Big Bend National Parks. Marfa is an art / film-making community with great scenery, Texas hospitality and good restaurants. Major Airline service to El Paso (ELP) and Midland (MAF) Texas. Add-On Glider Rating to your existing FAA Pilot Certificate requires no written test, no medical certificate. Adding the rating also satisfies your (Biennial) Flight Review. Time and cost varies with your aviation background, but we make it as efficient as we can to meet your needs. E-mail [email]marfagliders (AT) aol (DOT) com[/email] for training time/cost estimates. FAA Designated Examiner on staff. Towpilot Endorsements also available (fly the towplane at your local soaring club and earn free flying time!). FAA minimum to fly a towplane is PVT ASEL and 100 hr. Airplane PIC. We use a Cessna 150 with 180 HP and a climb prop. Our guest cottages are available just 3 miles from the airport. RV hookups on the airport. Nice motels in Marfa, Fort Davis, and Alpine, TX See our website: www.flygliders.com e-mail: [email]marfagliders (AT) aol (DOT) com[/email] We'll show you a good time!
