There are 4 gliders, TT (Tim Taylor), B4 (Bruno Vassel), AK (Adam Kite) , DW (Dan Wrobel) launching from Logan starting at 9:30 am this morning attempting to do long ridge/wave flights. They will be towing to the west and releasing on the Wellsville range and flying north and south along the Wasatch front. If all goes well they should be able to get as far south as SLC (or farther) and as far north as Pocatello ID.


Also John Weber flying his Arcus will be launching from American Fork airport some time this morning to attack the ridge from the south.

You can follow three of them here http://xcfind.paraglide.us/ and expand the 'Utah Sailplane' list about half way down to see SPOT tracks.

A second source of tracking is at http://glideport.aero/map?p=GlidePort:456 This is a new facility and not sure how it all works.

Best of luck to all these guys taking advantage of late autumn/early winter conditions in Northern Utah.

Quick update

TT - launched first and appears to have released east of the Wellsville range which should mean he is looking for or has connected with the wave that sets up in that area

B4 - next to launch and at 10am he was on tow headed west.

Small correction. John Weber is launching from Spanish Fork, U77. Have not seen any SPOT activity yet
