Jeff, thanks for doing that. I’ve only been to one Sky Soaring holiday dinner and it was at the Hawthorn country club. Put me and my guest down for attending. Hopefully we can get enough interest to start this tradition back up again.

Saturday is going to be an awesome soaring day for those of you
that want to fly high. Lift to 7000 ft or more. Winds out of the
Northeast so you’ll have to keep a watchful eye out for airliners
flying over our gliderport on there way to O’Hare.Morning brief will be at approximately 10:30. Flying to start soon
after.I’m still recovering from my illness so I’ll be working the
ground. We’ need a couple of towpilots and CFIG’s since it’s going
to be 90 degrees in the afternoon. We don’t want to overheat them.Sunday will not be as good as mid and high clouds are predicted.

Jonathan,
There hasn’t been any talk of flying on Thursday. Plan on this weekend for the next flying days.
