Pilot survey results for 2014 Big Spring Nationals
100% strongly agree that, "This was a good location for this
event."
"Best flying conditions of any comp this season." "Big Spring has the best comp
conditions in the USA." "Great hangar space. Great locations for briefings, with
wi-fi !! Friendly airport staff." "Conditions are the best in the world for race
to goal." "Best location in the World." "Big Spring has consistently proven to
be the most reliable location for big XC flights. The huge open airport provides
a safe launch area and the flatlands provides endless landing opportunities.
This makes the location suitable for lesser experienced pilots." "Facilities
were great, the conditions for flying once off the ground were great, the routes
and landing options were great. Strong cross wind launches in thermic conditions
were the only negative aspect."
100% strongly agree or agree that, "Launch/Tow was organized and efficient". "So
fast. Very safe. Mike Degtoff and his crew are great. Trikes were wonderful in
addition to the Dragonflies. Russell and Lori are the best."
There was no retrieval offered (as is the case in all hang gliding
competitions), but pilots stated: "The information to allow pilots to group
together into retrieve groups was made available in a timely manner and worked
well." "Retrieve is typically not offered but the organizers were extremely
helpful in finding drivers and helping pilots who needed drivers."
More results soon.
