FREE CHECKRIDES at Marfa, west Texas 2016-2017
Burt does a great job training and teaching safety at his operation. Great line crew and tow pilot too. I am now a CFIG again! Go get your rating with Burt or come out to Phoenix and do some fall and winter soaring.

I fly most every year in Germany (I gave 44 checkrides for the FAA for German pilots over there a few years ago) and wow, they aerotow with really short ropes, often behind motor gliders and even LSA type towplanes. Made for some interesting boxing of the wake with the German applicants for their FAA glider ratings.

Just had a cancellation for a FREE glider rating checkride with me at Marfa, Texas, DEC 16 - 22. So if you are snowed in up north then come on down to southwest Texas and let's get it done! A few other days are available through January and early February.
