Re: Kendall's Call

I think it could blow in as well. Van Nuys calls for west southwest around 1:00pm then back to northwest at 4:00pm. It will be cold at altitude!

Re: Wills Wing Demo Days at Sonora Wings (Arizona)

I got a chance to fly at Sonora wings last week and had a great day of aero-towing. The staff and local pilots are friendly and will make your visit to the flight park fun. The only thing that could be better is a bunch of new Wills Wing demo gliders to blast around the sky with.
