There was an earlier post about a wave camp near Mt. Mitchell. Who can give me an update on that?

Nice one Al. I think I got the same one at sunset. Was yours on July 1st? http://home.earthlink.net/~xcnick/imgp3091- 800.jpg

Gordon Boettger´s fabulous downwind wave flight from Minden to Steamboat Springs, CO is described in pictures in this unique glide loop. http://mindensoaringclub.com/int2/index.php?option=com_weblinks&catid=50&Itemid=23 This is a must see for anybody who is contemplating long wave flights in our...

Sunday was a good day for soaring. I was able to soar in clear air to 16,053 ft MSL for an altitude gain of over 13K near Hutchinson Ks. My question is did anyone else experience similar conditions in the flatlands?

The visible sat loop looks like there is great wave in the Sierras, anybody soaring there today? http://newweb.wrh.noaa.gov/satellite/index.php?wfo=pqr

Amazing wave yesterday, the best defined I have ever seen running for several hundred miles north and south. I had to work and had to just look at it from the ground. Several gliders flew out of Morgan. 2KA covered 600 km with a launch after 3 pm at 164 kph (102 mph). Hopefully we will get more...

Big mountain wave forecasted for NM & CO today with 50-60 knots aloft. Dan Mockler will be trying to do an O&R from Moriarty, NM to Vail, CO and back. All VFR under 18,000' and it will be tricky. You can follow progress at this link starting around 9am MDST: ...

Folks, Is there a prefered policy on how to handle a wave off from the tug in the first several hundred feet on tow. General policy dictates a turn back to the field should be into the wind, but if the tug is truly having difficulties his normal tendancy would be to do the same thing, causing a...

NOAA NWS Aviation Weather Center posted this interesting picture over on facebook. Here is a fantastic visible satellite image from this morning. Notice the wave clouds that are being produced by the strong northwesterly winds across the southern Appalachian...

Beautiful images of wave over the ridge yesterday. 1 km resolution from GOES16 at http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis/online/loop.asp?data_folder=loop_of_the_day/goes-16/20171219000000&number_of_images_to_display=125&loop_speed_ms=80 Did anybody fly it? Fernando Silva “FS�

Anyone else notice this on today's visible satellite images/their ride home from work? I was looking at: http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/GOES/goeseastconus.html and it seems like this started to form later in the day and covered a decent part of each of these states. I'm wondering if this wave...

I made my first tow around 1000 this morning and entered rotor at the departure end. Within a mile of the airport and at 1,800' AGL (8,000' MSL) there was smooth wave lift. I made 13 tows today, 12 rides and one private glider, and all stayed up. Sure wish I'd been soaring instead of...

Does anyone in the US typically see wave conditions in October? I'm looking to get an early start on my quest for diamond altitude this year. TIA, Roger

Yesterday, we had another successful day of wave soaring in SE Oklahoma. We are flying out of the Talihina airport. Max altitude reached for the day was just over 11,000 feet. Three flights got above 10,000 feet. Two flights have been posted on OLC. We were hoping for ridge flight on Sunday. The...

January 4 - 5, 2008 We had two very successful days of wave soaring in SE Oklahoma. Yes, Oklahoma! We also had a couple of great ridge flights 3 months ago in the...

Hi, If you want to have a look at how wave soaring looks north of the polar circle then have a look at the little movie I made of our trip to a place called Pirttivuopio which is close to the highest mountain in Sweden called Kebnekaise. Very good wave soaring in almost all wind directions exept...

http://alturl.com/g7ead If you hit the bounce button, and slide the speed bar all the way to the right, the wave bands show up clearly. Is there a way to overlay an image like this over our moving maps in the cockpit? Sure would make it easier, eh? It is not always easy to see these wave bands...
