The Carolina Soaring Association is actively winching off the Spartanburg Downtown airport (KSPA). We have mixed traffic - anything from home-built single engine planes to business jets, helicopters and anything inbetween. Works well so far.

Today, about 8-10 business jets came into KSPA since there is a republican presidential debate at a local college tonight, all while
we were winching. It works since we all talk to each other and the
winch launch announcements are being made on the unicom frequency.
Only once did I have to tell one of the jet-jock's to hold their take- off since the line was not on the ground, yet.

Uli,
I still have my Windenfahrerschein back from the 80's in Germany.
There were over 3,000 winch launches that I did at our Bisperode Ith location (near Hamelin) from the winch drivers seat. Since you
probably need a relief driver now and then, it may be time for Renate
and me to relocate to Spartanburg.

Hello Herbert,
that makes two with a 'Windenfahrerschein'! :-) And yes, I could use a
relief now and then despite having trained a number of operators by
now, so come on down this winter.
