You can't rely 100 percent on the Holfuy readings at the WS tower. In a N NNW flow the finger in front of launch re-directs the flow up and over launch and tower both seeing a NW flow. Best forcast is to look at usairnet for Winchester and Staunton and split the difference. Today Winchester cast is ...

I will be there at 12:30.

I'm in.

Keeping an eye on it. Rounding up all of my polar bear flying clothes.

Interesting day at Woodstock. I got there at 11:30 and got set up and launched just after noon in an ok cycle. When I cleared the slot I was surprised at how left cross and light it was. I worked my way south but only hit a few pops. I was so low I turned back north to see if I could salvage the fli...

Ward says the road is open. I'm supposed to have a contractor starting a job tomorrow for the week. If he bails out I'm in.

Andy; It would be my pleasure to show your friend around at Woodstock. Feel free to pass along my cell phone to him; 540-686-0351?

Looks like a nice Woodstock day tomorrow. Any interest?

The Trooper belongs to Nelson Lewis from Charlottesville.

One of the best days ever at Woodstock today. Just Mark and me. Five years ago there would have been ten pilots there on a Saturday like today. We both arrived about 1:30 in the bridge field and got to launch and set up about 2:00. Mark off first into a bit of a north cross. He worked a bit at first...

Woodstock does look good Saturday afternoon so that is where I am heading. ETA; 1:00 pm. If you get to Smithsburg early for a couple test flights you could still make it to Woodstock for a nice afternoon flight.

I think Tuesday is looking great and can meet in the bridge field at noon. Gary Smith

Woodstock turned out to be great today. 4300 MSL an HR plus of airtime. Almost out to rt. 11 before I could find sink after I left the ridge. Very clear day. Joe decided not to fly as a bit strong for PG. Road is open at last.

Any interest in flying Woodstock tomorrow?

You guys made the right call. Half hour after my post the sky cleared and freight trains started rolling through. Still rolling.

I am standing out in the yard looking south down the valley toward Woodstock and there are wave clouds everywhere plus the surface winds don't seem too strong. Still have time. Anyone reconsidering? Gary 540-686-0351

Darn good day at Woodstock. John and I both got to over 5000 MSL a couple of times. Had to work to get lower and out of the mist with glasses steaming up. My hands got cold so I only flew for about an HR. John was up for 1.5 hrs. The guy guarding the lower gate let us drive up (as far as the constru...

John McAllister and I are meeting in his field at noon. John checked on the road to the top and it was still closed yesterday so we are leaving a truck at the bottom if anyone needs a ride up.

I am up for flying Wed. Looks very good and we were told that the road should be open.

I had a nice flight with fantastic fall colors. A bit light when I finished setting up at 2:30. I flew for about an hour. Mark C off first with a beam up, John Middleton chose a great cycle and also beamed up. Walt off next with light conditions but he managed a great flight. I was next and had to w...

I can drive up with three gliders or hiking works too. Gary

Count me in for Friday.

With a temp drop from a high of 90 this thurs to 70 Friday Woostock might work. Thoughts?

Looks like a repeat pattern (from yesterday) for Woodstock tomorrow. I might be able to get there in the afternoon. Any interest?

I met Steve K in the LZ at noon after mowing. John McAlaster drove up to launch to meet us there about 1:00. It was light so we waited for more sun. Steve was off first in the best sun/cycle in the hour that we waited and he started climbing out right away. The cloud streets were amazing and lining ...
