750/Regionals - Thu. 8 Nov. 07

You didn't miss anything.

Did seven flights, six from the 750 (Falcon 3s) and a Sport 2 from Regionals, starting around 11 AM. There was a thinned out marine layer and a very high thin cloud layer. As the high layer dissipated around 13:00 a plug of much thicker murk at ground level came in - probably the remnants of the coastal fog. So at 13:00 it was harder to see the LZ from the 750, but soarable enough to get above launch. The next flight I almost got even with launch. Then flew the Sport 2 175 from Regionals, where we were just eye-level with the top of the murk and there was almost no wind. My flight was shorter than the previous two! Then a couple of sleddders off the 750 with Falcons as the sun kept disappearing behind clouds.

Wayne and Barbara are back in the LZ, and Wayne seemed to have a pretty good extended sledder from Marshall about mid-day. A couple of other rec pilots flew and Rob McKenzie did a couple of tandems followed by the two students doing numerous flights from the training hill.

Seems unusual for November to be murky like this without it being pre-frontal.
