Part III. Okay, so not as exciting but there is a club meeting in the hanger on Saturday morning. Just maybe, there will be a chance to get in some flights before the weather changes. After that I can return to my cave and take a break from this crazy typing.

Enough already!

Part II. So, who wants to fly Thursday and Friday? Forecasters calling for more of the same. Top of the lift Thursday 6500 ft with light winds and Friday 8000+ with light winds.

Now, to make this happen we need tow pilots both days. Some of you may know that a contingent representing Sky Soaring is going North to Albert Lea MN to fly in the Region 7 contest. This includes 2 of our tow pilots so it sure would be wonderful if there is anyone else available for this rewarding job. Best wishes to our teammates as they take on the challenge of bringing home the trophy(s).

But wait… there’s more!

Rich,

Come on out. See you at the field.

 Aviation weather concerns this period consist of:
    
    * Lake breeze and an ENE wind shift late this AM/early PM
    * Developing soaking rain this evening and overnight with MVFR and
    potentially IFR cigs/vsbys
    * Low potential for some RASN for a brief period late tonight,
    mainly RFD and DPA.
    * Gusty easterly winds tonight into Sunday morning
    
    Light and variable winds will start the day off along with some
    very patchy/shallow BR at outlying airports. A freshening lake
    breeze will switch winds easterly/northeasterly, first at GYY, and
    then into MDW and ORD around 17-19z. Winds will then remain east
    or northeast through the rest of the TAF period.
    
    Rain chances look to increase quickly this evening, although there
    remains some level of uncertainty regarding just how quickly the
    low-levels saturate with the latest thinking that it may take a
    little longer at ORD/MDW/RFD than currently indicated by some of
    the more aggressive hi-res guidance. Eventually, MVFR vsbys/cigs
    should be commonplace, with a potential for IFR conditions. Have
    introduced TEMPO groups for a period where the steadiest/heaviest
    rainfall is currently expected, and these may need to be moved to
    prevailing groups if confidence increases. Latest guidance
    suggests that a cold rain should prevail at ORD/MDW, with some
    potential for a brief rain/snow mix developing at RFD and DPA.
    This potential still seems pretty low right now, but perhaps just
    high enough at RFD to justify a brief PROB30.
    
    Precipitation chances will begin to trend downwards through Sunday
    morning and certainly through the early-mid afternoon hours with
    some improvement to cigs/vsbys during this time.

Hello:

If my new schedule allows I would like to fly Sunday. I am now occupied looking at the trees budding, flowers blooming, and plywood sprouting up on the stores.

I am in the process of designing custom luggage tags with the Sky Soaring logo. If anyone wants one for their flight bag or luggage let me know and I’ll make one.

[Steven Snyder]

Today, Wednesday we had 7 flights. Thanks to John S for towing. Don and Jim S were go for close to 3 hrs. Andy and Greg each had a flight and Brendon was checked out for solo in the 2-33.

[Steven Snyder]

Any tow pilots available Wednesday? Have a couple of people interested.
