Report: 13 November '04 Mustangs
Winds were exactly as predicted. Jerry and I got to launch around 2pm, and it was blowing in lightly (5G10) from the SW. Jerry did this reasonably well executed sideways running launch at about 2:15 in a NWerly cross cycle pumping 10-12- worked low for a while then got above launch. I had a touch a...

Possibly, just possibly... PG at the Mustangs. As of 3pm Friday: Intellicast, NWS, and ADDS are all still calling light SW right up through 9Kft. Sunny and cool. Still looking like it could be the 'stangs day we've been waiting for! By the way Eric- congrats on your Lemmon flight yesterday- too coo...

OK
Sure Allan: The statement is correct as it reads. We are allowed to utilize AZ state land via a permit that we apply for and pay for each year. This is for the Box LZ. While it is granted to SAHGA as a club, nowhere does it state that any specific membership is required. So that is why both club me...

accuweather
Does Accuweather report winds at altitude, or just surface winds? Often in the winter, Box is sandwiched between the two. Every afternoon with solar heating, once the ground inversion burns off, and as long as there isn't a strong forcing function due to frontal movement, the warm air near the surf...

Not that I can go anyway, but according to the NWS weather site, the Soundings FSL sites for Tucson as well as Ft. Huachuca, and ADDS aviation- are all saying light SW. Where do you get your weather report Gunter? Must be from that small rag-tag group of meteorologist PG pilots who live near Box Can...

welcome home
Sounds terrific. Ya' never know- Miller could be great that week and you could fly right home to Moson road. :D (or, more likely, we might drag your arse to Box Canyon to fly) SAHGA Club membership isn't mandatory to fly our sites, with the exception of 'A' Mtn. Box and Miller (as well as 3 others)...

Actually, I couldn't secure a hall pass for this weekend, so it may not matter to me. But what I was thinking was that just because they're calling for 10-15, three days in advance, doesn't mean it's not gonna be 15-20 or more on Sat. Or, potential bag wing conditions. Watch the moment to moment so...

Early Call: 'A' Mountain- Saturday Nov 6th
It's looking like a perfect prefrontal day.
Should be good at 'A' Mountain on Sat. Possibly both for HG and PG.

Glider Review- WW Sport 2 135
After three flights and over 3 hrs on the WW Sport 2 135 my ego believes that I am somehow justified in writing a review that others might want to read. I enjoyed 1:20min of airtime at Miller, on a day that offered some good thermalling in both light and strong (up to 1,000fpm) conditions, a low sav...

Miller Report- Saturday, October 30th 2004
Eric, Justin E, Dave Bishop and I, with driver Barry arrived on launch around 10:40. Nicely blowing in on the SE launch. The road to launch is still passable, but has had some rain damage, and is a little rougher than normal. By the time we had our wings spread, it was lightly blowing over the back,...

Eric. Can I meet you at Houghton and I10? It's looking still perfect for Miller. Not sure what forecast Fred is looking at. Well, we'll all know more after the morning sounding, As of 10:45pm, ADDS and Intellicast are both solidly SE all the way up, turning to the south later in the day. Sometimes b...

It's looking really perfect for Miller for both PG and HG. We'll see tomorrow, of course. There appears to be a little low level low pressure thingy moving right over Tucson tomorrow. Both the NWS and Intellicast are saying light SE in the morning and either SE or NE in the PM. Box may be iffy or c...
