Thanks Walt! Just corrected it. Yes, June.
My mind is already in July... .
Regarding Thursday: Looking good to me at WS and hope we can get some pilots out. I am definitely going to be there, if forecast don't change.
Let's bring our radios and fly as a team.

Randy,
Sounds good! Count on me to be at WS around 1:00 pm. Looking at XCSKIES, it almost looks the same as for 2 weeks ago, when we flew the ridge.
Only this time, it looks like it will not be blue.
Anybody else? Understand several PG pilots will give it a try, for afternoon flying.

Randy,
Can't make it today. Though, looking great for WS and more.
Kids in camp and have to be picked up by 3 pm.
Wife's work schedule changed.
Next time I can fly, will be July 5th.

Woodstock gave a gift of beauty that only Woodstock can give, a late afternoon/evening ridge soaring session, not much turning needed. Sweet, smooth air, max msl averaged 3000 (from a poll taken we all hit a ceiling at 3000). I had 2 flights, the first ended in a flush after 30 mins, the second lasted for 2 hrs. I went to Strasburg and back. Early in the day the raptors were out enjoying the lift. Could have flown till dark. Flew the pg.
