Hello:
Today had 11 flights. Most flights were 13 to 30 minutes or so. Don Grillo managed a 1:13 flight in the 1-26! I have no idea about John Lincoln’s flight since I left before he landed but he definitely stayed aloft for a long, long time. Brynn and Mike Palmer had some student flights while John Scott, Kees, John Lincoln, Dennis Burke, Don Grillo and John Osborn did their flights. Gregg and I took up Pumpkin for a short flight before we put everything away for the afternoon. It is nice to have Pumpkin back but Stars and Stripes also wants to fly! (Also both 1-26’s, Krosno and PW5.)
The weather:
Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 92. Light south wind becoming south southwest 5 to 10 mph in the morning.
Sunday: (Not so great)<b> </b>A chance of showers and thunderstorms, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 1pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 83. South wind 10 to 15 mph becoming west southwest in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%.
And, for Jonathan’s question, just call the field at (847) 683-7627 to see if anyone is flying or to just chat about what is going on.
See you tomorrow!
Regards,
Rich
