Dickies Thursday

Post by tomceunen »

Steve,Sparky,...

I finaly got airborn at 3PM (late arrival). Conditions were all you could wish (+7mph).
I landed to share the sunset with my wife after a nice not so high autumn flight.

High up the trees are rapidly loosing all there leaves.
I also saw a post that the skyline drive will be closed in the nights;
From November 14, 2005, through January 7, 2006, the Skyline Drive between Front Royal (Mile 0 at U.S. Highway 340) and Thornton Gap (Mile 31 at U.S. Highway 211), and between Swift Run Gap (Mile 65 at U.S. Highway 33) and Rockfish Gap (Mile 105 at U.S. Highway 250), will be closed daily between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.

Honestly I hope to get some flights there in Winter as well.

Tomorrow looks quite weak Sparky, check the weather.
Saturday I probably go for Daniels unless it is more SW than S.

Look from above:

Tom,

It is good that you got some airtime today. On ADDS, the winds at 3k msl seem to be ok.

I'd like to give Dickey's another try on Friday - I'm hoping it is not too strong ...

Doesn't look too bad for Saturday either ... more west than S.
