Wx Forecast

Hmmm...looks like a few local flights will be possible over the weekend. Map attached shows light SE winds which if this was summer would be a great day. Lack of heating and upper level stability (esp on sunday) will put a cap on any thermal development. Probably a short day starting about 1pm. Hanger update. I think we finally saw off the hanger builders. Although stranger things have happened... It's been a useful debate as I think we better understand the "slack we are cut" by the Airport to operate outside the "offical" rules. Any movement of powered aircraft on or around our airstrip would destroy this arrangement. Maybe we will have to (or choose to) move one day but not today. I guess everyone involved claimed the moral high ground and claimed everyone else was being "emotive" and this was especially true before the facts were accessed. Thankfully we still have a few people in the Club who understand the rules (I don't count myself in this group) and have a concern for the longer term future of the gliding community at the local Airport. What have we learned?? 1) For us to operate we need the help of the Airport and ATC management to allow uncontrolled movements in and around 04/22. 2) We probably need to be more visible on the airfield...Hi-Vis vests would be a start. 3) "They" will come again...sometime. So we need to clear why we operate the way we do. 4) The club still has a passion to stay at the airfield. 5) We really are not in a position to move. And coincidently we have a club prize giving tonight so hopefully we can "Move on"...
