I have posted before what a resource you have in the area. It is second in the nation in flyable days. In a contest at Littlefield I was over Lubbock airport at 16,000 ft. years back.
Several of us old West Texas guys stared a sailplane club in Hamilton. All the major folks are Tech or West Texas fellows that were airline capt. One of our main guys was wide out for Permian Panther. Another was Center of Spike Dykes State Champ team. One of our founders was pilot number One out of LA on wide body jest for Delta. Another was Sr Caption for United and one lady father was Check out pilot on the Supersonic jet liner. 40 percent of sailplane folks are ex military or airline. Longest I have flown is 270 miles and 5 hours, just got tired and landed.
We are a 501 C tax deductible deal.. Byron Batch uncle, a doctor is donating a sailplane to us yesterday . Another very rich oil family down Midland Odessa way is donating a glider.
We have more than we can use. There used to be a nice group in Littlefield and Plainview. Glider time is one for one credit for power. Three of our students have gone on to professional jobs.
We have the son of the Great Wally Scott from Odessa. Google him. All his kids , 4 went to Tech. So if anyone is interested in info we can and be happy to help where we can, knowledge. Half of our 19 students are young ladies, remember the Sweetwater girls.? Call me if you want to talk 817 738 1016 Ask for Hubcity the glider guy, ha.
