Title: The Big Nasty at TEMAC - Aug 17 2024
Post by: Andy Hoffer on August 17, 2024, 02:54:24 PM
Fabulous menacing clouds at TEMAC at 1:30 pm.  No sign of Frank..... no sign of Mark (too windy).... But that insane Hoffer guy is out there taking pictures!!!  Jeff's chair is hiding out under a setup table - good thing because the sky just opened up!!  Nice little rivulets along the sides of the driveway.  The thunder has a nice deep throaty sound that would go nicely in Peter's P51 sound synthesizer!

#35 - David's chair
#36 - Michael's chair, after the big winds blew through looking for Mark!!
#78 - Jeff's chair hiding out and staying nice and dry (well, sort of).
#95 - my Plan B if I get flooded out, or need a dry drop zone.
#83 - some random guy who paid as much attention to the weather forecasts as @Frank v B does on training nights!😎
#20 -fully erect wind sock💨💨💨. (Wind sock, Michael.  Wind sock!!)

As I've said before, Rogo Field is a truly beautiful place, and a testament to Michael's foresight.  Good for flying, and good for the soul.

Ah that was you. I drove by and saw a lone car on the driveway. I was thinking this guy really got lucky to get a few flights in before the rain.

Haha! No flights for me, just rainy photo ops. I'll try again today (Sunday Aug 18).
