I am headed out to do some shopping and then headed to Mustang. I am taking my cell phone 549-8250. I should be at Mustang in the middle of the afternoon.

Mustang today (Monday,Feb. 7) ?
Mustang might work today. The surface prediction looks good for the afternoon, but the wind might - or might not - turn too NW near sunset. I fixed my wing so that it is flyable again and I am itching for a flight. Is anyone else interested?

A mountain Sunday February 6
I promised to show another pilot "A" mountain Sunday, Feb. 6. (I don't know if I will fly because I am not happy with some new replacement lines for my wing.) I will be at top at 9 AM on Sunday.

Considering that Mustang's wind tends to be stronger (often 50% stronger) than predicted and that it often tends to swing around to the north in the late afternoon, I like to see surface and also aloft winds from the SW at 10 or 11 mph maximum. Today's predictions are too strong and not quite from t...

Box worked! We got to the first knoll at 3 PM to find nice launchable NW thermals. Instead of launching immediately, we waited to see if conditions would get even better. Well, the wind died. Then the wind picked up and shifted to the west. So Soren moved to that launch only to feel the wind shift t...

Box might work today (Tuesday, January 25)
I am itching to fly, but the weather predictions have not been very good for several weeks. Today's weather looks a bit better for Box - not great but I am getting less choosey. I might even think about A mountain. Is anyone else interested?

I just got back from Shane's funeral service. It was very moving. Eric Tucker's posting was also meaningful for me. I believe Eric was talking about a December 18 flight. Shane landed to give a PG pilot plenty of room to launch. I might have been that PG pilot. I was the only pilot at the upper laun...

Mustang worked again! I had a nice glassoff flight with a good launch and a good landing. The wind aloft was very strong WSW (20 mph picking up to about 25 mph for about 10 minutes of the flight), but the speed bar did the trick. I wore some nice new gloves that were warm, yet allowed my fingers to ...

I am going to Mustang today (Friday Jan 7)
Mustang might work today. The Elgin surface forecast looks good. The winds aloft for Tucson are a confusing and may be telling me it could be blown out, but I am going to try it anyway. I will be there in the afternoon. I will be on a new cell phone (I lost the other one at Box) 954-1850. Is anyone ...
