  • Future Glider Operations at Moriarty, NM

    From Whitney Van Brink@21:1/5 to All on Fri Feb 17 22:30:23 2023
    I'm pleased to inform everyone that there will be a commercial glider operation at the Moriarty, NM airport for many years to come.

    Merlin Aviation will be offering glider rides, training, and tows at Moriarty starting in March!

    I can say this with 100% confidence because I'm the guy starting the business!

    Excellent news! Glad you were able to put this together! I've been a dedicated customer of Rick Kohler and Sundance Aviation for over 22 years and I'm looking forward to continuing with both Merlin Aviation and the Albuquerque Soaring Club. Best of luck
    to Rick and yourself.

    Whitney,

    It was a pleasure meeting you, a few days ago at the Moriarty Airport. You are a young guy, full of energy--I wish you well. My wish is that others will have as good of an experience as I had. It was also nice to re-visit with Rick Kohler and Tow Pilot
    JT. One final note: The soaring was great!
