Saturday afternoon looks like it might be good for HG at "A" mountain. Weather Underground has the surface winds at 15-20 kts south from 2 PM to 5 PM. 6000' winds aloft will be howling - 20 to 30 kts south.

Note for those who haven't flown it before - this site has some special requirements. See the site guide at http://www.sahga.com/amtn.html.

If your thinking about flying the A you need to get a waivier sgned and in mine or John`s hand before COB on Friday so we can post it to the City`s Risk mangers office. There are of course other requirements- Be current -both in your flying skills and with your USHGA membership- check out the LZ and go with a authorized SAHGA pilot to get checked out. It`s a great little in town site, hang IV or have a sponsor. This is our most visible site and it does have shifting wind conditions -that could leave you with out a place to land- the LZ being 90" around the Mt from launch!

Larry Tudor`s comment to a USHGA representative on site`s across the US- A mt- "possible the worst soaring site in North America!" and were proud of that!

Nuff Said!


Fly safe - enjoy!

Pre-frontal conditions, moving from stability towards instability, collapsing clouds, gust fronts, rain ...

A perfect day for the A.

Hey,

I live very close to A Mtn. so JLo if you guys make it up and it looks to be launchable give me a call and I'll head up.

520.977.2990

It looks like the best shot is between 12-2 PM. I'll probably get there around 11 AM to streamer the LZ and check out the conditions.

ARGH still waiting on the G.E. guy to arrive. Provided he gets here soon I'll head that way.

The forecast was 20-25 south, going southwest after 5. It turned out 10-12 south, suddently going southwest and eventually 15-18 at about 1:30.

Jason Otto flew before the switch, maintained launch altitude for a while, then landed after about 3 minutes in the front LZ. Mark Sawyer and I were set up but never flew. The "A" does it again!
