Weekend flying
The forecast seems to be shifting around quite a bit. Soaring predictor and local news has the "A" at E14 today, going SE12 around 4 PM. Not sure if we'll get down there but it's possible. Box is still forecast ok for Saturday (now SE9 morning, N7 early afternoon, SW7 evening). I'm not overly confid...

Box Canyon Saturday?
Box looks decent if a bit light for Saturday, the Soaring Predictor says NW 3 from 11 AM to 4 PM, top of lift around 9000' MSL. The in-town prediction from the same site is NW7, and Weather Underground says N5. A Canadian visitor plans on being in town Friday and Saturday and would like to fly, so I...

Re: SAHGA Club "A" Mtn American Cancer Soc. climb
Hi. Lane
I second that, thanks for organizing the event this year.
Do you know when the deadline for sign-ups is to get the quota for the t-shirt?

Another "A" day report
The forecast for Monday was similar to Sunday's, with a little bit higher velocities. I got to the "A" about 10:15 and found it blowing in nicely. It was still early so I wasn't in a hurry to set up, and when I did start setting up around 11 it quickly got too strong to even safely set up. Jason Ott...

Re: Happy New Year! "A" Mountain on Sunday? (repor
The forecasts were timed weirdly well, the velocities actually came in a little stronger than predicted. One retired PG pilot (Gunter Schmidt) and four HG pilots (Jason Otto, Rafael Ramirez, Eric Smith and I) showed up, and Debbie Hodge came out with Rafael to hang out with us. We also met up with l...

Happy New Year! "A" Mountain on Sunday? (Reports a
The Soaring predictor http://www.soaringpredictor.info/phoenix/A_Mountain.htm thinks the "A" is going to be working tomorrow. 13 SE until 11 AM when it becomes 14 E. Marginal for HG, but just a little more and it could be good for both PG and HG! If so, we could have a traditional "A" mountain fly-i...

Tracy Scholz' mom
I apologize for being late with this. I announced it at the meeting but forgot to post it here until now. For those who don't know Tracy Scholz, she is a former SAHGA member who was secretary/treasurer of the club for many years, and wife of Randy Kerchil, a current member. Tracy's mom, Margaret Smi...

Frosty flies PG. Who knew?
Seen in front of a house in my neighborhood.

Looks like a tight LZ.

One more thing...
Pizza Hut just told me they don't run a buffet on Tuesday nights any more, but they do have specials for individual orders.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

"A" Mountain report
The "A" was working Saturday, and a couple of us HG types went out to check it out. I got there around 11:30 to find it blowing straight in on the ramp at 15-20, perfect for HG. Ken Stumpe showed up (sans glider, sadly) before I even had the glider off the roof. Orrin Smith showed up as I was settin...
