I had a great time trying a few winch launches with Don at Immokalee Airport 
(KIMM) today.  Honest 2000' launches.  If you have never tried a winch launch, 
you have missed a great thrill in soaring.
He will be there a few more weeks and still has gaps in his schedule.  Don't let 
them go to waste!

Thanks, Wayne.  I obviously managed to screw up a simple "cut& paste" operation.

Don will be winch launching at Immokalee (20 miles east of Naples & Ft. 
Myers) thru the end of February.  This is a great opportunity to get 
winch qualified, while your family enjoys the local beach scene (it's 80 
here today!!!).
Don is offering a $600 package deal for winch qualifying a glider pilot. 
  Included is up to 20 winch launches, use of his Grob & instruction.  A 
BFR is included at no addition charge.
For those of you who just want to get some winter flying in, the 
Everglades Soaring Club is offering special weekly memberships for $100 
/ week.  This includes unlimited use of the club's L-13 and 1-26 (you 
need to pay for tows).  Note:  If you are winch qualified, you can use 
the club's gliders with Don's winch.
See http://www.evergladessoaring.traditions.com/ for more info.
