You fly when conditions allow, or you don't fly.

On Thursday, ADDS has the 6000' and 9000' winds aloft at 0-5 NE at 11 AM, 5-10 NW at 5 PM. Dr Jack predicts top of lift at 12-13k and the -3 at 10-12k, thermals 600-700 fpm.

On Friday they have 6000' and 9000' winds at 5-10 SE at 11 AM and 5-10 SW at 5 PM. Top of lift predicted 15-18k and the -3 at 14-16k, thermals 700-900 fpm.

Either day could be very good, with Friday looking better but rowdier. The weekend is starting to look all southwest again, probably not Miller-able.

Eric Smith has a tandem to do on Thursday, and I just want to get some flying done and will take some vacation to do it. Anyone else interested?

John

I'd certainly be interested if the conditions look doable for PG's.

Might there be a car pooling option? I was thinking of flying Box tonight and camping out buy could meet you somewhere en route to Miller in the morning. If this sounds possible, just name a place and a time and I'll be there.

Hi, Soren

Miller is rated a P3 site, so you'll need a sponsor. As a P2, at least in the beginning you'll need to fly and land early before strong thermal conditions kick in. As an HG-only pilot I'm not comfortable sponsoring a PG pilot in strong thermal conditions.

Sorry about being a drag, but there have been two PG deployments and a number of big collapses over the years, and having been badly hurt there myself a couple of times I tend toward the cautious side.

Please give John Wolfe, Andy Miller, A.J. Frye or one of the Aarons a call. Perhaps one of them can come out, familiarize you with the site and sponsor you.

John

I may be in for Fri. if your planning on going.
I'll confirm tomorrow.

Friday is better for me... but I may show up tomorrow.

Tucker

If anyone is interested in doing an XC with me on Friday, let me know. I should have a driver.

Tucker

If I don't get caught up at work, I might go Friday. I will have to see how things go tomarrow at work.

I am thinking about going Friday. Anyone else???

hello, Eric / John , are you planning on going to Miller tomorrow or did you get your fill today?

Count me in for Friday. I can meet at Houghton & I10.


What time does everyone want to meet?

Okay. So I'll meet you (and anyone else who needs a lift) at Houghton around 8:00 am tomorrow.
Raquel is coming so I can take 3 other people. First come first serve.
So far there's Andy. How about you Soren? Or chicken hawk? Or Aaron? Or....

Tucker

I just checked the weather forecast and it looks like it's turning SW kinda early. If you want, I can meet everyone at Houghton at 7:00 instead.

Tucker

Ooh, that sound like good times.

Thanks for the ride offer Tucker. If I didn't work and I could rustle up a PG sponsor, I'd be there in a heartbeat.

BUT, as it is, you guys will have to have all of the fun for. So...do that.

I am planning to meet at Houghton & I10 @ 8:00AM unless I hear different.

i will be there @ 8 also, unless i hear other wise.
