Flying Saturday

Eric and I are planning to fly Miller. Current proposal is LZ at 10:00 a.m.
I am happy to collect pilots along the way.

I'll probably take my truck down too, unless turnout is very light in which case I'll throw on with someone else.

Houghton & I-10 at 9 AM, then?

Dr Jack's forecast is for light east-to-northeast winds aloft all day, max lift 300-500, top of lift around 9000.

Whitney, thanks so much being our driver.
Yes, Houghton and I-10 at 9:00 a.m. sounds like a good plan.

FYI Weather looks good for December at Miller tomorrow.

Spoke with a few guys about flying-
Andy will be driving down from Phoenix- possibly several other pilots as well.
Clay will be returning to Miller.
Hope to see Orrin fly his new ship?

once you have tasted flight you will forever walk the earth looking skyward for there you have been and there you long to return.

I think we had a total of 8 pilots: Eric, John L., Orrin, Bill, Davis, Clay, Andy, and myself. The wind was blowing in from the east in the LZ as we loaded the trucks and headed up. We made it less than a mile up the road before our day was brought to an unceremonious end by a locked gate.
Thanks to everyone who turned up today including Whitney and Rebakah.
