Flight options for Sat03Oct

Post by markc »

Current surface forecasts are calling for light NW, going light W at the Pulpit on Saturday. Any interest out there? Or are people thinking that it looks *too* light?

I see a bit of chatter in the week-long thread about interest in the weekend... But specifically, tomorrow, what's the interest level? Do we have more than a (HG) pilot or two willing to give it a try?

I think it would be pretty good but I am heading to Blue Sky. Otherwise, I would be with you.

I ended up at Blue Sky. It was another fantastic day there. I aero towed up behind Lisa and then spent the next 2+ hours at cloudbase (around 5500 msl). The visability was incredible. I believe there were 12 or more pilots there. I hope others had a good day too.

I also had a great tow behind Lisa at BlueSky who dropped me off in a great thermal to cloud base. Flew for as long as I wanted but was cold at 5K had to travel to find sink.
