Hi Frank, where in Florida are the winch launches?

Thanks!
tom

oops, my bad, they were discussing it, but perhaps haven't initiated

Everglades Soaring Club was certainly looking into it.

Maybe Mike Schumann will update.

Mike reports that one of the northern operations may operate in
Florida next winter for a couple of months. Would be a good
opportunity to get some training and a sign-off and keep the rust off.
