Hello everyone,

The weekend of our Schweizer 1-26 and Sports Class Fun Meet is here!

And we have big news: Wurtsboro Airport now owns a Schweizer 1-26! It will be available for rental to our customers very soon and you can see it flying with the others this weekend!

For those of you with a 1-26 or other glider of your own - its not too late to join the excitement! Saturday looks like it will be a great thermal day (tops forecast over 6000') with calm SW winds. Strong WNW winds on Sunday should be great for the Wurtsboro ridge! (maybe too westerly for you Blairstown pilots - come on up!)

We will have a pilots meeting both days at 11:00AM in the airport office. Daniel Sazhin has been working hard to make some great tasks for us to fly. Tasks will be newbie-friendly with plenty of room to challenge the higher performance ships and pilots. A PW-2 has already arrived on the field and the Duckhawk should be here tomorrow. So if your glider has performance anywhere between a PW-2 and Duckhawk - this contest is perfect for you!

Pilots will need the standard Wurtsboro turnpoints and we will be using some of the special Wurtsboro Turnpoints (contact me if you need this)

Please contact me with any questions. Hope to see you this weekend!

Warren Cramer
Wurtsboro Airport Manager
