Hyner for Memorial Day Weekend

Post by silverwings »

The forecast looks pretty good for the weekend for flying there. We are going to arrive on Friday. Any other takers?

Friday turned out to be too windy. Pilots flew Saturday, Sunday, and Monday with some soaring each day. A lot depended on your timing and how well you used lift when encountered. I personally soared Saturday and Sunday some with hg and some with pg. Monday turned out really nice for Charley doing a flight about 11:00 and then conditions got more challenging and I had a lawn dart to the LZ about 1:30. We left at at 2:30 and no one had flown after my flight but it might have improved. Over all fairly nice weather there.

Here is a short video from Memorial Day weekend. I have only flown Hyner a few times so it was exciting to finally climb above launch.

I can't get the video to embed properly, so here is the link.
