Default Low Altitude Low Temperature Soaring in Iowa

Check it out!

I was flying a Cessna 182 between 500 and 1000 AGL through the midday
today and found several bumps that gave me between 3-500 fpm climbs.
Saw several hawks and a bald eagle soaring. Don't worry though, the
club towplane is in the shop and temperatures aloft were right around
0 degF so the Cherokee Kid didnt even think about going flying in it.
I would have to get dressed up to look like the Michelin man just to
be comfortable outside, and then no way I would fit in the glider!
