In Houston at the Greater Houston Soaring Association, we had to wait until
noon for the fog to burn off. The first two demos were with high overcast,
but safe. Then we did 10 flights with two students, a father-son combo.
Then a member showed up and took two flights. No soaring on thermals, but
at least we got the year started with some good training flights and a
couple of demos.

Here at the Cumberland Soaring Group at Cumberland Regional Airport in
West Virginia, we had a few souls show up and flew in great ridge and
thermal lift all afternoon in balmy 50+ deg F. The hang gliders were out
in force on the ridge as well. Wave was visible with lenies but none of
us could find the ladder. A great way to bring in the New Year.

From all the pilots of the whole wide World thank you very much.
This is so nice of you to post this, but the penalty for it is that you

winpilot subject please. Ooooo!
Please write about flying, success, mishap, problem, problems with
your... just anything...
I am just trying to save your post because I don't want even one click
