Chris Ruf and his merry band of Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama (GTA)
racers visited Marfa again in 2005, and set several Texas State soaring
records. Thanks for the great article, the web resources and helping
reestablish Marfa as a soaring destination / glider training facility.

The sidebar article by Darrel Mullins of Iowa (page 27) was terrific.
He really did a nice job describing our move from Miami to Marfa, and
the encouragement and cooperation I received from the Marfa community
when building our big hangar and establishing Marfa Gliders as a viable
year-round soaring operation..

Come visit - we'll help you meet your goals, whether basic training,
badges, or records, and show you a good time! Just let us know in
advance that you're planning to visit.
