Figures...the weekend is over and the forecast is better. XC Skies is showing reasonable lift and base of about 5000asl. Wind out of the west....could make for some great long XC to the East. A bit breezy - certainly manageable at ground level and the higher wind would certainly help cover ground up higher. I maybe tempted to go out (tug pilot required of course). | ||

High of 29 degrees, now 10% POP, mainly sunny. Windy tho - would be tough to stay at the field. I think it's much windier than that...like 29 kts! | ||

Still rather windy. But once again, look at our area compared to Chatham: Top of Lift: Thermal Updraft Velocity | ||

I thought it was going to be better than this?! I hope the forecast I seen is wrong. Top of Lift (AGL): | ||

Yuk (yet again)...but yet again, look at Chatham...the only place where the B/S is good, the climb rates are 800fm, base is 6000'+ We're at the dark purple blob at the top of the image (shows 0-1000' AGL base) and Chatham is the Dark blue blob (shows 5-6000' base). Life is so cruel!

Now Thursday isn't looking good either...and the weekend doesn't look good on The Weather Network but the forecasts on the radio says it's going to be dry... You can now signup for forecasts to post your intentions to fly or not. Login & visit this forecast's page for instructions. | ||

The forecast was ify...but the sky looked soooo good. Maybe this time we should have listened to the forecast (maybe I'm just bitter...). It was a strange day....from keys getting locked in trunks (Troy) to me breaking a weak link coming off of the cart (it was good it broke so easily) to broken aluminum (minor). The clouds looked soooo good, I had convinced Ken to try a 50km triangle...but he and I just glided upwind and after finding ZERO lift, he landed and I high-tailed it back home. I planned on flying again but lost my drive after the incident and noone else stayed up much. Start: 15:48
Looks like the only chance of flying for the next week or so. XC potential is very good. Younger said he's in for towing. It looks (marginally) better earlier. The convergence of the winds seem to have moved out over lake Erie. | ||

Whole mess of fun on a marginal day. What a wonderful flight. Super light lift and some distance between Clouds were few. Landing was slow and I thought I had just enough to flare but it was At 20 feet there was 10mph. | ||
