1000km Soaring Weather coming to NV CA SW U.S. - Fri-Sun 06/23-25
Pete,
Mike was simply talking forecaster to forecaster. Mike is universally recognized as Arizona Soaring Association's weather guru. He regularly posts his forecasts (Right or wrong) onto the ASA webpage: http://www.asa-soaring.org/ If you check it out, he was predicting much the same weather, and was simply joking about the blunder. -From New Mexico, where the soaring is STILL great, Echo X-Ray 309 wrote: So you'd prefer the Specialized Soaring Forecasters like Walt to return to not sharing their predictions with us? I for one spent many valuable kitchen passes to show up on the ramp at Cal City in hopes of flying a 500k in my 1-26. Walt was even gracious enough to give me cuts in the launch line to try and get airborne just a little earlier. With more than double my L/D, Kevin Wayt flew 860 km, while I seem to have forgotten how to soar. Thanks again, Walt...keep the forecasts coming -- it got me to change my priorities for the weekend and go soar rather than just fly. And thanks for giving me consideration in the line...I'm all the more sorry for not capitalizing on it. I still had fun, and despite the fact that I drove to Lone Pine (vs. Soaring there), the wife & daughter enjoyed their special weekend. Here's to the SSF's like Walt & Dan. So Mike, when was the last time DUATS gave you a three-day headsup on decent forecast conditions (right, wrong or indifferent)? -Pete #309 Mike the Strike wrote: HA! So much for our forecasts.
