Andy and I planning to fly somewhere. Mt. Lemmon, Sutherland, or maybe South Mountain. Please let us know if you're interested.

John, Guido, and I are planning to fly from Samaniego Ridge on Sunday. We're meeting at the In & Out parking lot in the Oro Valley Market Place on Oracle Road, just south of Tangerine at 8:00 AM harp.

Let us know if you want to join us.

Best to call John to coordinate rides, but feel free to call me.

I'd sure like to go. As of now, I've been placed on call for the day. I should know for sure if I can swing it by 0700-0730.

Another great day on the Lemmon. We all agreed that we don't want to fly it in any stronger winds than what we had yesterday (10-15 SSW). The lift was abundant and went to at least 11K.

Guido and I landed in Oracle, and Andy went a few miles past Mammoth.
Birgit gets a huge thanks and a nomination for Pilot of the Month for burning an entire day waiting for us to launch and then driving from the top of Mt. Lemmon to Oracle to collect us.

Another fantastic set of flights from Samaniego Ridge.

I go up to 12000ft, got in 2hrs 20min and went 25miles north.

Big thanks to Birgit for driving and a big thanks to John for using his car.

After they picked me up, we had a nice dinner in Mammoth.

Wow. Congratulations on great flights, and another cool XC from Andy to boot. Nice going!

I'm jealous, I ended up not flying at Miller that same day.
