Calvert cliffs tomorrow (Sat)?

Post by garys »

Might be a good day at Calvert cliffs tomorrow. I emphasize "might". NE velocity looks good but it might be borderline. I will bring my glider to see how it shapes up. I need a 225 Falcon. I have to be there anyway and my ETA is 9:00 am. Mark C and I cleared launch so we should be good to go.

The PG "launch" can be a bit tricky, but it's a fun place to fly.

To jump on this wagon... Landing can be a little tricky too. ;)

Anthony; Cast was way off. It was glassy calm all morning then blowing NE 6 mph at 2:00. Need at least NE 12 to soar there. Good trip anyway. Got a lot of work done on the cabins.
