We Get Wave

Ron Clarke sends this photo:


Late Monday afternoon ( Feb 20th ) it was an amazing sight.
Right over the Indy area was a prominent wave system. This prompted me to call flight service and as I suspected the winds were just what you would expect for wave conditions :
3000msl 230 17 knots
6000msl 280 27 knots
9000msl 280 42 knots
12000msl 270 49 knots .
Attached are some photos I took from my deck .
One of the few times I wished I'd had access to a motor glider to go
explore .

I was coming home from Florida about the same time. I saw those clouds from the top. They were very distinctive and all over Indiana. Just for fyi... the winds at FL260 were 260 at 158kts.
