I think Woodstock looks quite windy until late afternoon on Friday. I am not available anyway.

yes, it looks strong most of the day. the 3 HG pilots who confirmed are expecting to be airborne by the end of the day.
Currently, our ETA is 2:00pm.

FANTASTIC weather at WS today.
The winds were very light...even too light!
Only 2 pilots showed up.

I could have taken off when I got there...2:00pm, but I could not fly :( I found out that my helmet was broken.
Jon took of by 4:00pm...he could have took off before...
He flew for 45 min and landed safely.

I was greatly surprised that the weather was SOOOOOOOO nice. The weather forecast for Friday PM was not on the target at all.
Shame only 2 pilots showed up and only 1 could fly.

Let us hope Saturday will be a goo day
