Just a bit of information about Florida weather, as to date we are
about 26 inches ahead of normal rainfall for the year. Now this is a
big problem when it comes to soaring during the spring. We really need
to dry out quick to have some good spring soaring weather. If it dried
out tomorrow and continued until March we might just have a chance .
It better start blowing and stop raining or else you guys can be
flying straight lines up and down hwy 27. Hope to meet some of you in
the air, we should all do a trip around Lake O.


Hey Bob,

Would you mind building a pipeline to New Mexico?Â* We could sure use
some of that rain!Â* The dry lakes south of Moriarty are actually dry!

You may recall a few years back when a glider pilot from Texas (I know
him) landed his JS-1 on one of those dry lakes and sunk up to the belly
in salt mud.Â* He made the soaring calendar that year...


Did that JS-1 have the jet sustainer? If so, did it fail to start, blow
up, or just run out of kerosene? Oops, wrong thread, nevermind!
