Title: Flying Wed. April 21
Post by: Michael on April 20, 2010, 05:39:15 PM
If the weather is decent (which the forecast so far indicates), I will be at TEMAC flying my planes from about 4:30 on, for at least a couple hours.

I'll help anyone (as best as I can [:D]) who wants any instruction.

If anyone plans on coming a bit later (Robert?), let me know and I'll wait.

I'm charged and ready to go (and so are my planes).  I don't expect to get there until after 6:00pm though.  Still, that's a couple hours of nice, evening flying.  I hope the rain holds off.

I can help with learnin' too.

The rain will hold off.

It might be windy though.

It looks like you're right about the wind.  That's a shame because right now (10:00am) it's warm, sunny, and almost dead calm.  planes are in the car, ready to go, and I'm stuck at work.

Oh well,  See ya later today.

CRAP!  Just found out I have to go to a visitation tonight for someone I've never met.  No flying for me tonight.

Flew yesterday. It was relatively calm until approximately 5:00PM when the wind became strong enough to keep the wind sock horizontal to the ground. Still a good time though and Great to be flying again!

  I'll try again Thursday

Very nice from about 5pm to 6pm.
Almost calm; flew my Twin Otter.

Then at about 6pm, wind changed direction 180 degrees, and became almost violent. Clair and I were both in the air and had difficult (but successful) landings.

That was it; we were grounded. 8 people were there.
