How many of you would like to go fly XC at Blackhawk on Labor Day?
I for one.
I am willing to take my vehicle up but I don't have a driver as of Friday night. Perhaps Erwin or Adam's brother. I'll ask Erwin by email tonight.
Right now the plan is to meet at Sylmar at 8 AM.
I am open to suggestions or leadership from anyone.
Sign up below.

East wind, cool temps convergence too far south.
No one did anything very interesting.
I launched first to make sure all the Falcons could make the l/z and 5 of the 7 pilots joined me there.
Kris Greblo made it up to 8500 ft. and flew 10 miles and Ken Andrews made it to 9,000 ft and flew 15 miles to Rabbit Lake.
It was still fun.
I saw Ken in the LZ yesterday evening and shook his hand for making that flight to rabbit on his Falcon. I was too burned out from recent XC driving to join the group and instead I had a long and exhausting flight on the front side of Crestline under a strong inversion layer.
