Any thoughts?
It's gonna suck, you'll be trading in a 3 hour drive for a 3 minute flight. I say lets' wait for Santa to bring some good weather Monday or Tuesday.

I'm taking my previous statement back. It's looking pretty sweet right now, I could be persuaded for Jack's.

Monday at Woodstock

Post by XCanytime »

Janni,
Your observation about Monday is looking good. Woodstock is looking good for Monday, so I am now looking at that closely since some flexibility at work came into the picture. What the heck, I will be flying Woodstock Monday, and Gary Smith will too. Others?

flying and Carpooling

Post by davidtheamazing1 »

Anyone interested in carpooling? Could meet up off 270, or at your place if you're in the northern burbs. I'd need an observer also who knows the site. I've never been to jacks, but, I agree that the forecast looks promising for the site direction... Cloudy tho, chance of rain overnight tonight and tomorrow night. see Image

Launch Code is showing winds of under 5, but other sites are showing greater than 10. So, wind speed and direction could be good. But Launch Code shows cloud ceiling of 500-1000, which would sock us in. Any other weather prognosticators?

I'll keep an eye for tomorrow Saturday just in case.

But I'm up for Monday Woodstock if it works
