Those of you who have flown the past few weeks will surely agree that
the weather has been as good as one could hope for this August . In so
many past years we have had to contend with hot humid conditions and
hazy skies in August .
Not so in 2008 - the smog must have moved to Beijing ?
Did anyone happen to check out the OLC postings for SSA Region 6 the
past week ? A large number of 400km + flights were made out of Caesar
Creek with John Lubon flying over 500 last Saturday and then 650 km
yesterday ( Sunday ).
VT and ZA flew up to Northern Indiana and back but chalked up only
modest 300km + flights . The difference was that further south the
lift was going to over 7000msl while the tops were a mere 5500 here .
Many other club members took advantage of the great conditions too -
ask Dan he can tell you about taking off ( after landing ) in a
recently harvested wheat field .All good experience Dan !
