Yesterday
was an unexpectedly good day after the hot, hazy and humid practice
days that saw lift top out around 2700 AGL. Preliminary results show
Gabriel Duford W6, winning the club class and I won the FAI class at 105
km/hr raw speed.
Today
was scrubbed at the pilot's meeting due to 30 kt winds at altitude and
an approaching cold front bringing scattered thunderstorms. I have been
watching them on the radar and out the window and it appears that the
front is almost upon us. Typically we can expect good weather the day
after the cold front passes, so I am expecting a couple of nice flying
days coming up.
Today
we had a Griffon SAR helicopter (piloted by a former SOSA member) visit
from Trenton and drop a couple of SAR techs by parachute onto the
airport. Everyone had a chance to look at the helicopter and then the
crew was fed some burgers and they headed back to Trenton.
