“I am already looking forward to next year’s Dust Devil Dash!” Doug Fronius, NXS, 2022 DDD Champion
“Always a great time and adventure the Dash turns out to be, no matter what the conditions.” Dave Heffel - GT
The Dust Devil Dash is a one-day straight out handicapped distance event for sailplanes and motor gliders. Conditions permitting, past participants have flown to destinations as far away as southern Idaho, central Oregon and central Arizona.
The 2023 Dust Devil Dash will be held on Saturday, September 9th, with September 10th as an alternate date, at Mountain Valley Airport (L94). All pilots are welcome to participate. All sailplane and motor glider types, (including vintage, modern, single
and two-seat) are included. Pilots are responsible for paying for their own tows and bringing their own chase crews to the event. Camping facilities and aerotows are available through Skylark North (661-822-5267). Hotels and other amenities are
available in nearby Tehachapi.
Spectators and guests are welcome to view the activities as the sailplanes are staged and launched, and to track pilots real-time who participate in OGN with tracking networks such as glideandseek.com and weglide.org.
For more information, please reply to this post.
DDD Rules and Procedures will be emailed about a month before the event.
The Dash will continue and even grow as long as new pilots show up each year. Please re-post to any mailing lists or social networks that come to mind, and please reply to Tom with new posting suggestions!
