Sunday Flying

Post by John Wolfe » Fri Apr 11, 2014 4:31 pm

Presently we are planning to tow in Eloy. Charlie will be there, and we're hoping Aaron will as well so that we'll have two tow rigs. This will be the first designated task for 2014 XC League, and we've not yet decided whether it will be race-to-goal or open-distance.

We would very much appreciate having at least one, and preferably two drivers.

Tentative plan is to be at East Hauser Road, near Newman Peak by 9:30 a.m. on Sunday morning so we can push way points, brief everyone on weather, the task, and towing procedures.

Please contact me if you're interested in joining us. j_r_wolfe@msn.com or 520-906-4868.

The weather forecast for tomorrow looks...windy. If reality matches the forecast, we will not set a task.
Andrew and some of the Phoenix pilots are planning to be at East Hauser Rd. by 9:30 a.m. I am on the fence. Unless someone else from Tucson speaks up and wants to head out there, I probably will not bother.

Still going at this point, waiting for confirmation from Aaron.

I've decided to pass, as I'm not wild about 20 mph surface winds in the afternoon. I think some of the Phoenix pilots are still planning to head out there.

Hugh, thanks very much for offering to drive. I hope you manage a great flight or two in the morning.
