I have reason to be at Edwards AFB on Monday, and nothing pressing

I have me, my glider, logbooks, insurance policy, and my truck. Advice

others might be good too.

I believe the glider operation at Rosamond closed years ago. *If you
want to fly on the south end of the Sierras, you could get a tow from
the Sierra Soaring Club at Inyokern.- Hide quoted text -

I know who tows at Rosamond, however, it will be blown out this
weekend like Cal City, Tehachapi per NWS:

Krey Field is about the same distance as Llano, Less winds, cheap
tows, house thermals, and no need for local mountain experience.
Bunkhouse is available, see the SSA website under "places to fly" for
details and contact info, or contact me.

If your have not already made up your mind, go where the wind is
least, and the thermals best per Dr Jack.
