  • I want to do some soaring in March and April, and am wondering which sites would yield the
    more soarable days for a motorgliding.
    I'm willing to travel far from home, this swamp called Delaware, and hope to find some place,
    preferrably warm, to stay for a week or two.

    Dear Fellow Xoggers--

    I want to do some soaring in March and April, and am wondering which sites would yield the
    more soarable days for a motorgliding.

    I'm willing to travel far from home, this swamp called Delaware, and hope to find some place,
    preferrably warm, to stay for a week or two.

    Thanks,

    Bruce

     You didn't say how far you wanted to power. Arizona should be great by end
    of March and April. I've been down there in April and could X-country soar
    almost every day. Colorado where I live starts getting good by April but it can
    also be upslopey and cloudy and rainy. Bill

    Bruce:

    A couple of additional suggestions based on my travels:

    W Texas/S New Mexico, specifically the Marfa area or Alamagordo. Can be windy, but good for soaring. If you want to try closer to home, central Florida (base out of Seminole Lake Gliderport or Winter Haven) can be quite good until late April. Might tie in a visit to Sun n Fun there too.

    Good Luck,

    Hi Bruce,

    I had send to your personal e-mail address some info about the wave
    soaring camp early April in Marfa, but I am not sure whether this
    address is still valid. If you did not receive it, please let me know,
    so I can send it to the correct address. This Ximango e-mail address did
    not accept the attachment.

    Regards
