Options for Sun15Oct?

Post by markc »

Thinking of giving Daniels another try tomorrow, given the SW 10-ish... But I have some concerns about the wind strength on the ADDS 3K forecast : Conditions can quickly start to suck if winds start dumping over the Blue Ridge.

Daniels? Blue Sky? Edith's? What's the feeling out there?

Charley, maybe Knut, Ric, and I are going to 501 tomorrow. Great forecast. Why not try a new site? Double surface gliders only. Bacil

NWS now calling for 15G20 sfc at Daniels tomorrow. Now that's more interesting! (assuming it stays solid SW). Work on the slot, then fly?

Sfc forecast has dropped, but I'm not liking the 3k forecast : Wimping out!

Hard to leave a soarable site. The sky cleared up at 3P, just as it was forecast to do. It was easily soarable, as birds were flying back and forth a few hundred over with no issues. At least I got to see Grimes Airport, and meet the owner Paul. Bacil
