Every year the city of Big
Spring and the airport authority provide
hang glider pilots with very valuable
services that reduce the cost of
competition and make it just that much
more comfortable for us. They provide:

1) Air conditioned airport terminal for
our meetings, registration, score
keeping

2) Restrooms

3) Free bottled water

4) Free Ice cream

5) Room in a large hangar for the
Dragonflies and for the hang gliders

6) Three or four golf carts

7) Welcoming dinner, dinner location,
welcoming address

8) Volunteer organization for preparing
the launch and getting pilots and their
harnesses to launch from the hangar

9) The airport taxi way for launching

10) Tires to keep us from breaking the
taxi way lights

11) $500 in prize money from the Alon
Refinery

12) Inexpensive lunch service

13) Cart Retrieval

14) More that I’ve forgotten to list
here.

We calculated that the city provided
$20,000 in in kind services for the 2007
Worlds in Big Spring.

Thanks to Big Spring for all their help.
We attend to once again raise money for
a local charity that helps children and
funnel the money through the Cloudbase
Foundation, "Helping children wherever
we fly."
