Local FlyingMarshall road closureThe Marshall road (2N40) has been closed at all gates due to the weather. It is temporary according to Jack Kennedy of the Lytle Creek office. Safe to assume it's closed for this weekend. At this point, patience and understanding of their work load is a good idea. We'll work to find more info if it's still closed next week. BTW, Crestline is open if you have chains. As of this afternoon there is a Looking for Ord or Blackhawk or anywhere PG'able Saturday December 19Hello! I am driving out to pick up a Condor and two Falcons for a dealer here in Albuquerque and would like to fly my PG Saturday if I can hook up with anyone. Looks like a N-NE forecast. Anyone want to meet up at Ord or Blackhawk around 2 or 3pm on Saturday? If not, are there any other places that would be fun for an old PG pilot that day in those winds where I could make some new friends? Season's Greetings!While I was subbing today, my first grade class spent an eternity in the auditorium, practicing for the Chrsitmas Program. Their song? the Old "Christmas Don't Be Late," by Alvin and the Chipmunks. After about the third time through, I began to hear this: Christmas, Christmas time is here This lift's good, whoa! what just passed? Flatlander VisitI'm a flatlander who will be in Palm Springs in February for an event. Im thinking of bringing my paraglider, just in case. A few quick questions: Whats the realistic travel time from LAX to the park? And from the park to Palm Springs? (Ive heard of the LA traffic, so just checking) Is this the closest flight park to Palm Springs? And other sites recommended? I'm a P2 pilot so I will be contacting a local school for a site coach session as well. Any recommendations? Switch Approach Patterns?"If ya can't lick 'em..." Over the years it's been noticed that our PG community rarely uses the right-hand approach pattern that someone(s)chose as the pattern they should use. Meanwhile, I'd like to suggest that maybe we should try switching the patterns for a trial period. At best, we might find a solution to what some believe is a problem. At worst, we learn something. great weekend...... even if you didn't go far. After 2 weeks of no flying I feasted on as much as I could. Saturday logged 2.5 hours on the T2 and Sunday goofed around for 1.5 on the Arcus. http://picasaweb.google.com/140fusion/82909Weekend?feat=directlink Three Cheersfor Kathy the Killer and Dusty the Griller and everyone else who pitched in to make this a Wednesday to remember!! Good Flying, Great food and awesome friends ~ Thanks everybody! Thurs fly dayI want to get high.....I was just checking the Rob Report this morning and though it bums me out that summer is flying by I couldn't help but get excited at the prospect of: "...But it does show that the fall altitude flying isn't far away". This being my first year flying allow me to make the observation that while summer has been a blast so far, and my first fall is still TBD, winter at AJ wasn't all that bad either! Anyway, I cant wait for this Fall altitude action.... I've been to 9,500 once back in April and I was a little under dressed, next time I want to see what it's like without shaking violently and muttering curse words and amazement through chattering teeth! deadbeatHeard we had another visiting pilot skip out on his daily use fee. Even after he overshot the LZ and the monitor and another local gave him water and helped carry his T2 to the break down area. Maybe he was dazed, but he told the monitor it was in the drop box and at the end of the day when they tallied up who was naughty and nice, he was naughty. I'd use other language but this is a public forum. CSS HospitalityI just wanted to say thanks from the Arizona guys who came out to Crestline on June 13 and 14th last weekend. I saw the Rock that said Mingus may 2009 by the stairs. Pilot Reports | HG | Marshall | AJ Airpark | Local Flying | Read More... | login or register to post comments
Any Brave Souls?Or desperate pilots going to give it a shot this afternoon? NWS says partly cloudy with 20% chance T-storms and a high temp around 77. Doesn't exactly sound epic.... Also said something about "placement and timing way off" and "unannounced cells moving at 40mph....." Yea, I heard those in the weee hours. Hmmmmm...... Mothra & I can't fly 40mph.... is that a bad thing? So, anybody going out? Friday at Torry Pines-Road tripThere are Try-N-Fly (equip. demo) and air races at Torrey Pines until Sunday. Having never been there, it would be fun to check out the event and fly there. I can take four passengers with gear in comfort for the 220 (RT) mile drive. I plan to leave on Friday morning around 9:00 AM from Andy Jackson. Ride sharing works out to about $25 per person. Call me or respond here. Wade (831) 588-9101.
