Come to Richland some time. I can't over exaggerate the convenience of noticing the cu building in mid-morning and leaving work at lunch to go play for the rest of the day. Drove through there twice earlier this week on a road trip to deliver a glider to Cle Elum. Monday afternoon (early) looked pretty good for April though the high stuff was coming in pretty quickly. It was OK even under the overcast. I flew from Richland to 5 miles east of Cle Elum, then to Wenatchee, and finally back home across the Yakima Firing Range, which was active, but to only 5000 feet (a rare treat, as the bullets, A-10s, and other activities usually consume 18000 feet). Three other motorgliders also flew. The terrain between Ellensburg and Yakima looked very intimidating. And it is, though it's only 15 miles between airports or landable fields, and so not a problem with the typical 5000-7000 agl conditions. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |
