Soaring Reports

Hi All, Saturday started kind of chilly but ended real nice. Going from memory here, Bob took the flight sheet with him.  I think the longest flight was 26 or 28minutes, I believe Pat and Jaime had that one. Bob Craig started it off with his safety flight followed by Mike for his safety…

A another great October day – flying and barbeque – what more could you want.  When I arrived the L-23, L-33, and two Russias were being readied for takeoff.  Winds were moderate out of the north so it was a 31 operation with little forecast lift due to a strong temperature inversion.  The tent…
