Hi,

Does anyone have a copy of the above article scanned? It was by
Jerry Gibbs and provided a non-technical approach to understanding a
SkewTLogP chart. I had my own xeroxed copy (so 1980's), but I can't
find it right now.

TIA

There was an article in AOPA Pilot, July 2008 p 107 which may help you
out if you can't find the Soaring article.

Ray, would you have a link to these articles for those of us who are
unfortunate enough not to get Soaring NZ?
