Tow Pilot Awards

Gliders need tows, and we have a dedicated team of tow pilots contributing to our operations.  At the awards ceremony, Ty Sibley recognized two pilots in particular.

  • Joe Wampler - 911 Tow Pilot Award
    "because he is always available for short notice tows and steps up when other tow pilots can't."

    "for having the most tows out of anyone in the tow pilot cadre."
