Hey Guys,
16,000ft, 8 knot thermals in Nephi today! Let's go fly... https://soaringeconomist.com/2020/04/01/gangbusters-conditions-today-in-nephi/
All the best,
Daniel
Is’nt that how it goes lol. The best wx is always on a monday, in a neighboring state, when there is no tow pilot available or in the midst of an epidemic lol. But, if I had the gear, I would learn the sim stuff and join you fellows on line. You really can teach old dogs some new tricks. My worry however, is after flying those high performance birds on the sim, making 40 mile final glides, I would get spoiled and have to buy a real one lol. Sometimes its better to not know what your missing lol.

Nah, a glider is a glider. I've gone from a 1-26 one day to a Duckhawk the next, to a Grob the following day, then a LS4 and then back into a 1-26.
It's all the same. The fun is in the soaring and they are all great soaring machines.
Just go fly!
All the best,
Daniel

It is fun to go fly the same Condor task in a wonder machine then do it in a 1-26. Or vice versa.

My son just drove thru the area south of there up thru Green River, saw bases above 16k and wonderful streeting! Wish I was there. Incidentally 2g theres a handful of us on the same program doing all the awards in 1-26’s.

Yup. With all the fancy high-performance 13.5m gliders now in existence, Daniel holds the 13.5m distance world record - set in a 1-26.

Guess I'm getting old, Dan, but the 28 kt gusts make me worry about
opening the canopy to get in.

Ah u pussy! lol I remember that gold flight I made there last summer with the wind gusting 40 lol, interesting launch.
Hardest part of that whole flight was getting the bird towed out to the xwind runway lol

Oh yeah, I always say that, if you can fly at Moriarty, you can fly
anywhere.Â* Except maybe for Salida, CO.Â* I landed there once with a
crosswind component of 32 G 50.Â* Earlier this year as I was sitting on
the very wide taxiway D facing into the wind, I looked down to take care
of something.Â* When I looked up I had one wingtip on the ground!Â* That's
not supposed to happen with a Stemme!Â* My senior citizen pussiness
convinced me that this was a day better suited to having a beer in the
hangar.Â* And it was.
