Thanks for the write up Pete. I enjoyed hearing about the flying from you and Knut. It does look like a fantastic place to fly.

Well, I will go first. It was a great day at Woodstock albeit cold. Winds were light and top of lift was well over 6,000 msl. I managed to fly for 2 hours and maxed out at 6,400 msl. I had one thermal with max climb rates of over 600 up on the 20 second average. The wave seemed to be around but my m...

I should be out there by early afternoon.

I am watching it closely.

Hi Walt

That was pretty cool. Thanks for posting it.

Tom

I am a maybe and will check around 1:00 after various chores.

Well, I had a good day at Woodstock. Flew for about 2 hours and to 5900 msl. Lots of bald eagles and flew with some sailplanes. While the thermals were broken up, for the most part, it never got too rowdy for me. It was west cross again, so progress along the ridge could be slow. It also was mostly ...

I am watching it too.

It was a good day at Woodstock. The thermals were a little broken but I didn't hit any rough air. It took a while, but I eventually made it to base at 7,500 msl. Just a fun day. Thanks for posting a video Knut!

Tom McGowan

Thanks. I am watching it too.

Tom

It doesn’t look too bad to me. It would be great to fly there. My guess is the forecast is a little uncertain based on Ida’s movement. I will keep monitoring the forecast.

Do we know if the LZ is available?

Tom

I am thinking about it. Tom

I would fly there any time.

Tom McGowan

Mark I guess you had that fun flight you were looking for. As you suspected, I may have launched early. There was plenty of strong lift, over 800 up on the averager, but it looked like it could OD. I decided to stay well below base and ran the main ridge to stausburg to Edinburgh. It was a fun fligh...

I'm now looking at Saturday at Woodstock. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Tom McGowan

I am looking at Monday.

Tom

I am heading to the Pulpit. Tom

I'm with you Mark. I will check in the morning too.

Tom

For what it is worth, I think it looks good for the Pulpit. I could do High Rock too but I have not heard about the LZ for some time.

I will keep checking the forecast.

Tom

Pete

Thanks for sharing this story. I wish that I had gotten to know JZ. They don't make many like him.

Tom McGowan

I am out today. A combination of other projects and the stronger forecast. Good luck to those that try.

Actually, I am looking at Woodstock.

Tom

It looks light but ok to me. I may not be able to make it due to a family conflict. I will have to decide around 10:30.
