At long last the weather is giving us a break! Dudes, tomorrow is FLYDAY! I'll take of at 0600 tomorrow from Potties - maybe at 05h30 - I am planning a few LONG legs for the weekend! See you guys in the air! Microland guys - I'll be there around 09h00. I expect coffee.
From there onto Blue Max, and back to Potties in the afternoon. Enjoy your flying tomorrow! enjoy it while it lasts!

Howdy Asterix!
What weather forecasting tool are you using? Off Windguru I have tomorrow very much as a NO-FLYDAY!! Here is FASI (Springs) - solid cloud and rain!! To me it looks like you'll be IMC before you leave the ground!!

With that said, Saturday looks a beaut!!

Nah, sorry Asterix, catching me out is me asking where I can join you on the flight!!
I think you input 2011 in your forecasting tool!
Down here we are so close to the weather we even give individual clouds names!
Like,
"Josephine was overhead the dam earlier . . . . is she still there or has she broken up and dissipated?"

Asterix, I thought yellow wings were not supposed to be scared of clouds or rain, not to mention gust fronts
John, "Josephine" is moving eastwards and the sun's started to shine on a beautiful weekend (P.S. I see a couple of nice photos are posted on Avcom of us at RV4ker commemoration fly-inn last weekend).
