Dear friends, On Saturday, March 13 I had a heart attack while in the air. Heart attacks don’t happen in an instant, the symptoms start building up, and gradually take over. I was near the Towers, just climbing out after a long straggle, soon joined by John. The moment I knew what’s happening, I wen...

We have a new weather station on launch. Use the link located on this page, left column, just above the LZ web cam picture.

Thank you all who made this happen,
I LLLLLOVE IT!
Beer is om me

Does he foot launch it from Crestline or Marshall?

Beautiful video, Jonathan, as always.
I enjoyed it.
Is that Bruce in a Swift?

Very interesting,
Please elaborate, we'd love to learn more.
Thanks.

Beautiful!!!
Man, that LZ is unrecognizable,
what happened to that grass?

Great! Glad you enjoyed cooler temps at high altitudes. Crestline was definitely the place to be Saturday. It was going to be just OK at Kagel, then the soarcasts downgraded miserably, so I didn't even bother to think about flying in 110F around 4K. I wish I had planned for Crestline that day. Happy...

Thanks guys,
great work!
We watched them all.
One more reason for me to do better landings

Great flight, Greg!
This was your #17 ?
I suggest to name Kagel-AJX route The Greg Kemdall Express.

It's a flight discussion topic, but it originated here, so i will finish it here. It really was a good day, initially even a little on the wild side, punchy and rough near the edges, felt very much like that young, strong spring air. There were 4 of us, Loren, Phill, John and I. We got to Big T, it ...

Joe,
They moved the "Very Good Day" to Thursday, tomorrow,
2/20/2020
That, if you trust the forecasts, which have recently been eeeeh....

I have work scheduled for tomorrow, but will try to finish
early and get there.

Anyone?

Winter is here. Don't remember it being this unflyable in the past. Today, though, it turned out to be a nice, pleasant day, nothing like forecasts. Good turnout too, 2-3 trucks, both HG and PG. I took the Falcon out, most others were on high performance gliders. It turned on around 1 pm, people got...

Saturday, 12/28 looked better than expected (I wasn't there).
How good was it?
