        Looking ahead it appears that Thursday may be the day to plan for. At this time I see temps in the mid to upper 60s with winds moderate 10-15kt range. Sky Sight expects lift to 4500MSL. Next weekend looks even warmer.

          I agree with Steve, Thursday looks OK. If the weather holds I would like to try to get my field check done if we can get an operation going. Anyone else interested besides Steve and myself? John Lincoln

            I’m hoping to be there John. If you’re stuck for a tow pilot, I’d be glad to come out for that

                      I am not going to make it tomorrow as I’m in the middle of a head cold. I will try to be out Saturday to assemble my 1-26 and fly.Jimbob

                          Today turned out to be a good day. 10 flights total split between 5 pilots. Thanks to Mark and Don for instructing and John S for towing. Also some true spit shine polishing was taking place on 2 of the private ships.

                          Stay tuned as we are getting into the prime soaring weather soon.

                            Week of April 25-30. Yuck!

                            Maybe Thursday, maybe Friday. Not much to look forward to at this time.

                                Saturday and Sunday do not look very inviting at this time.

                                  Saturday is expected to be windy.  Perfect day to do some mowing.

                                    Wednesday is looking to be flyable as of now. Good day for training flights. Mark will tow.

                                          A beautiful day today. 3 flights accomplished with cloud base 3500msl. A lot of mowing was done as well.

                                          See you all Saturday.

                                                Today was a good day. Beautiful weather. Low clouds in the AM then clearing. Total of 12 flights mostly training and retraining. I managed to scrape out 1.5 hrs in 39E. Thanks to Mark for towing.

                                                Next day will be Thursday. At this time we expect lift to 6k, thermal strength 4kts and winds 300@11or so.
