Smithsburg 2morrow (Saturday Dec 17)?

Post by Danny Brotto »

A tiny tad bit of south in a predominantly westerly flow forecast for tomorrow. Anyone planning on a training hill day perhaps?

I had planned to fly my sailplane on Sunday but didn't rig it because I didn't like the forecast (call for overcast and the wind profile did not support wave.) It never did fully OD and the lennies were stacked up. We pulled some of the 2-place gliders out about noon but then the winds amped up with gusts to over 30 mph. Those strong winds were not in the forecast. We put the gliders away w/o flying them. I'm pretty sure it would have been a hand full at Smithsburg if not impossible.
