I don't know what to make of the wind prediction, but I need the exercise and would love to fly, I will leave for Box shortly. My cell is 549-8250.

Box, Sunday, Dec 27
Is anyone interested in Box on Sunday, Dec 27 ? I will check the forecast again in the morning and will leave early (since it takes me a while to climb to the top).

Canceling my plan to fly
I just checked the predicted surface winds for Mustang ( SW 10 MPH picking up later) and predicted winds aloft (for Tucson)(SW or WSW 11 MPH @ 6K and 16 @ 9K). Given that Mustang's winds are usually 50% higher, today looks very marginal.
Anyway, I am canceling my plan to fly Mustang today.

Irina, Glad to hear that you will be visiting for a few weeks. I would be happy to take you to Mustang - or maybe Box. The other sites (like Miller) are too much for my current skill level (I had a 10 year period of no flying and my launches are now even worse than when I last flew with you!). I hav...

Report on a wild ride
Thursday, Dec 10 was an exciting day at Mustang for me. John's summary is very good, but I should mention that the wind at 8000 MSL was unusually strong (about 27 mph SW - I could barely penetrate with full speed bar and went backwards with big ears and full speed bar). I was uncomfortable with the ...
