Maybe you believe in Global warming or maybe not ? Consider this -
Something like heat must have been working on Sunday ( we did have a
mild cold front pass through the area on Saturday ) . I've lived and
soared in Indiana since 1980 - a mere 27 years and have never
recorded a day as late in the year as last Sunday that was so good.
Lift was 6 knots climb at times and thermal tops were 6000msl.
Between the bunch of us x/c fliers we ranged as far as 100 miles from
Alex before returning .
Just before sunset I was still at 6000msl and after landing witnessed
the arrival back at the field of the Saunders who had together
enjoyed the fantastic conditions and the spectacular sight of the
Indiana Fall colors in the setting sun. It must have been a "family "
soaring day as I know Brad and Lisa also soared the area in the Grob
earlier - Way to go family soarers !
And it might not be over ! I predict that if we get another cold
front through this week we may have similar conditions maybe Thursday
or Friday .
Keep a "headsup " for any e-mailings . I'll try to make it happen.
