      Is there any interest in getting an operation going on Thursday. It’s looking like a pretty good day. Lift from 3.1 to 4.7 knots up to as high as 7,100 feet msl. Northeast winds from 9 kts dropping to 6 kts later. There won’t be any Cu’s but who knows there might be dust devils, I’ve seen 6 or 7 so far this year. John O and I will be out rigging the PW-5 at 11. We should be done with that by noon so if we can get a tow pilot I would like to fly after that, probably around 1:30 or so. How about it, any tow pilots? John Lincoln

      I will be there to fly on Thursday.
      We had Q’s today even though SkySight.IO didn’t predicted a blue day.
      Same diagnosis for Thursday – blue. But life is now predicted to be 1,000ft higher up to 7K.
      See you at the airport.

      It’s Thursday June 8th and SkySight says lift to 7000 ft. We have
      a towpilot and an instructor available. We have 6 club aircraft
      available to fly.  Play hooky from work and come on out to Sky
      Soaring. Goto bookourplane.com and
      schedule your aircraft.

      We had a great Soaring day yesterday, lift above 7000 feet. John D had a three hour flight and John Lincoln had a very long flight as well. I’ll be out there today mowing, if anybody needs a tow come on out. Skysight says there will be lift to 6000 feet today.

      Thursday was a nice day indeed. My averager showed 3.5 knot lift for the whole day. I did have bursts of 7 to 9 knots of lift which was very nice. I never got to cloud base as the lift seemed to stop well short of the bases. Wind at altitude was fairly light. 12 miles south of Hinckley is as far south as I have ever been from Sky Soaring. All y’all out there need to come out and fly on the nice days. SSI’s ships are up and ready for use. Our fleet is there for your use and it is the one big benefit that the club has. Use one of our ships and no hourly charge for it like the other clubs. So lets get out there and FLY!!!
