        Monday and Tuesday should have rain. Wednesday through Friday look nice with some wind Wednesday but much less Thursday.

            Friday continues this high wind pattern. Saturday might be better but marginal at this time.

            I will not be available on Sunday.

              Any interest in flying today? Not a soaring day but it looks like a beautiful early Fall day.

                The TFR for Chicago airspace Wednesday,  sure messes that possible nice day.  20 yrs on and still having to cope with El presidente visits.  The gall is blockout of most GA airspace for many hours (9:30-6:30) during big wonderful speeches inside buildings.

                  The TFR is scheduled for 2:15pm – 6:30pm CDT on Wednesday.  The list of impacted airports does not include 55LL, although we might be right on the edge of the 30 NM ring.

                      Greg and Everyone Else,

                      The Sky Soaring messaging system does not recognize responses from cell phones.  We will see a response from you, but the content will be missing.  See below for an example.  It’s been this way for quite a while.  Not sure if it can be ‘fixed’ but for those who like to respond from cell phones, we can hear you.

                      Best Regards,

                      John F. Phelan

                              Sounds good. Andy signed up and Gavin should be out at 2:30. I’ll be about by 12.

                                  Just an FYI, The Toolcat is now in the hangar. John Osborn has the key. It should be pretty much out of the way where it is on the south side.  John Lincoln

                                    Another nice day at 55LL. A total of 8 flights and a big shout out to John Scott for towing. Andy, Tim, Gavin and I all got flights in. We also were observers of a helicopter flying circus. A semi rolled on westbound I-90 and shortly after there were 4 news choppers circling like vultures over a fresh kill. Hopefully everyone on the highway was okay.

                                      Thursday and Friday also look nice. Not high lift but good conditions for training. We need a tow pilot, particularly in the afternoon as Gavin gets off school at 2:30.

                                      Sign up now if you are interested.
