I'll be there in Aero Club Albatross' 1-26, Sweet Red.

Come on out folks! May is an excellent time for flying in Wurtsboro. If we get a cold frontal passage, we'll be able to at least fly the Wurtsboro ridge. If we get ridge weather, the task will also allow the option to fly SW to the Blairstown ridge system, or beyond. If there isn't enough wind for ridge, Wurtsboro is like ol' faithful when it comes to thermals. That valley is magical and on a good day, it may be possible to get to 10k! Bring what you have and we will all have a great time and likely some good flying to boot as well.

Regards,
Daniel

Having flown that ridge for 35 years in hang gliders I can heartily agree with Daniel's assessment. If the weather looks good I'll be there too.
