Flying Out of Waukesha, WI - Advice Please

I heard on the weather last night that a cold front was coming into that
area next week. I don't need to give you a weather lesson to tell you what
that probably means :-(.

Actually, being on the back-side of a cold front at this time of year is a
good thing. The skies are incredibly clear, the winds relatively light,
and you get an extra 20 horsepower!

Just try to avoid the FRONT side of those fronts, okay? :-)

Jay,

Thanks. My focus was on the leading edge - the rain, wind, etc. I didn't
think about the after effect once it passed :-). I just looked again at the
long weather forcast and for Thursday the weather is supposed to be "mostly
sunny". That may be the day we do our flying. Again, thanks for the other
perspective - I needed that :-).

Harry,
If you fly from UES to OSH, be sure to fly by Holy Hill, near Hartford,
it'll be near your flight path. Beautiful old church on top of a hill, you
can see it for miles. There's also a fellow with an odd sense of humor down
there, if you happen to see a Piper Tomahawk sticking nose down / tail up
into the side of a hill near a nice new house, don't be alarmed, it's his
"lawn ornament".

Thanks, Jim. If we make that flight, I will look for the church and the
Tomahawk.

Where is this? Around Holy Hill? I haven't gotten close/low enough to see
something like that, but then, I'll bet that's the point. Somebody's idea of
"noise abatement".

I believe it's north of Holy Hill, and east of Hartford. A local pilot
pointed it out to me. It looks like a Tomohawk crashed into the hill in the
guys back yard.

Never seen the Traumahawk, but I'll second the motion for Holy Hill. It's
worth seeing.

(It's even better to hike up to it, but that sounds like another trip...)
