Hi guys,

Sorry Lew I didn't get your voice message until this afternoon, I have really poor reception at work. I would have liked to go with you this afternoon. Did you end up going? Can we go tomorrow?

Report on Mustang, August 30

Post by lewsmith » Tue Aug 31, 2010 9:01 am

Monday (August 30) was a great day at Mustang. I had a very nice glassoff flight.There was NO RAIN in sight and the wind was SW. The glassoff started early - about 5:30 - and was very smooth, lifty, and a bit strong. The wind at launch was 10 to 15. The wind aloft was 15 to 20. There was a Mexican lookout man at top. The cows are no longer in the LZ. Unfortunately I won't be able to go today (Tuesday), but hope some else gets a flight.

Report for Tuesday, August 31

Post by lewsmith » Wed Sep 01, 2010 1:11 pm

Two days in a row is pretty go for Mustang in the Monsoon! Tuesday (see previous message for Monday) was a marginal day - with very light wind later followed by NW wind - but Aaron C got TWO flights (his first at Mustang) and Doc Aaron also got a flight. I did not fly Tuesday. The Mexican lookout man offered Gaterade to the two Aarons.
