They've been known to attack.



BTW, Jon - nice flight. Seems patience has been a virtue lately.

I'm planning to give it a shot. I'm also an observer if you guys want to come out. But be prepared to possibly not fly. Strong and cross ain't gonna work but it could be nice later. If nothing else, you'll get the experience of comparing real life conditions at WS in November vs. the forecast. I'll ...

It was a great day today. Thanks John M for the ride up and the help on launch. I got freezing at 5,400msl because I had the bright idea to leave my bar mits in the truck. So I flew into the valley to get lower and warmer. Problem was there was a 20-25 mph headwind so to get anywhere I had to fly fa...

Woodstock it is. See you there.

Pulpit is looking good for tomorrow. I plan to be there around 10:30 - 11:00.

Think I'll give Pulpit a try also. ETA 11:00ish

I think I'll go ahead on out to High Rock if you guys want to give it a try.
Could be a decent day.

Charley,

More than happy to. See you there.

I'm probably coming out tomorrow. WS does look pretty good.

Congratulations, Trevor. There's nothing as thrilling as your first high flight. And to soar for almost an hour, too! Well done. You're gonna need to hook up with some Observers from now until H3 and fortunately, one of the great things about this club is the number of Observers ready and willing to...

Thanks for the heads-up Danny.

I helped Bacil and Daniel off around 1:30 and with no one else up there I decided I was happy to wait until a bit later in the day to fly. It was not self-launchable. After so many turbulent flights lately it was nice to fly in some later day smoother air for once. Not too long after his arrival Hug...

Good to hear from you Janni. Sucks that the flying is so bad in Germany. I still have your old 76s if you ever come back and need a gps.

Pulpit is looking great for tomorrow. I plan to be there around 11:00

Awesome, Matt. Sounds like a blast and makes me miss CA even more! Glad that landing turned out okay and good luck on the last few days!

this is the picture Bacil took of the grass devil.

Yep, fun day. Had to work for the first half hour and then started getting higher. I flew with 2 bald eagles at different times - both almost mature with mostly white heads and tails but still mottled. Was bouncing off a 5,000' blue ceiling for a long time and then eventually punched up to 6,200 msl...

I'm in for Sunday.

The gust factor seems to have decreased some. I think I'll head out there around 11:30.

I see the same thing Matthew. I'm going to hold out for tomorrow as well.

Think I might try Bills tomorrow also. Hope the forecast doesn't decrease any overnight.

A damn fine way to spend a holiday! :) I couldn't get more than 1,000 over for the first half hour or so. Thermals were decent around 500 up but I couldn't get high. They were leaning way over but even after I figured that out I still couldn't get more than 1,500 over. At that point I knew for sure ...

See yall there.

Walt, I was not at High Rock so my words only count half but I've watched the video and think there's something else worth noting. It appears to me that you were transitioning your hand position from grapevine to bottle grip at the moment your left wing got lifted. Basically you had no control of th...

Sorry to hear about your accident Walt. Glad you are okay.
Here's a pic from out over I-81 yesterday.
