Report on Box flights
Sunday was another good day at Box. Eric Smith, Andy Miller and I had an adventure riding up the backside of Box. Eric wanted to show us his new proposed launch site, but instead managed to get his vehicle hung up on a big boulder hidden in the tall grass. Ed Hileman missed the adventure, but showed...

Sunday, November 14, Mustang or Box?
I am interested in Mustang or Box - provided that the forecasts still look good - on Sunday, November 14. Is anyone else interested?

The NWS surface forecast for Elgin and the winds aloft forecast for Tucson tell me that MUSTANG should work in the afternoon and also at glassoff time. I will check again in the morning. I previously made other plans for Saturday, but if the wind is right, I will have to break those plans and go fly...

The Box glassoff on Halloween was smooth and beautiful - no goblins or other scary stuff! The wind was too light (from the SW) at the lower Knoll at 2PM, so I climbed to the top. The wind at the top shifted from W at 10 mph at 3:30 PM, to NW at 12 mph at 4:30 PM. I launched at 4:45 on the North laun...

Box, Halloween?
I missed typed (October 21 instead of 31), on my last posting, so I am re-doing it. Is anyone interested in Box today (Halloween)? I will leave for Box shortly.I am taking my cell phone - 549-8250.

Box, Sunday (October 21)?
Is anyone interested in Box on Sunday (Halloween)? I was hoping for Mustang, but the surface wind prediction indicates that Box might be better. I will recheck in the morning.

Unless someone can convince me that Mustang will work today or tomorrow (Friday or Saturday), I am going to delay my plans for flying Mustang until Sunday. [This morning's winds aloft forecast did not calm down as much as I hoped it would and the Elgin surface wind forecast now looks pretty S (and S...

Mustang, Friday(Oct. 29)?
Is anyone interested in Mustang tomorrow (Friday, October 29)? The surface winds look OK. I hope the winds aloft prediction improves when the morning forecast arrives. In the morning I will decide whether I'm going to go to Mustang. Right now, Saturday looks blown out. Sunday might work at Box - may...

Ed, I would love to fly with you, but my wing needs some maintenance. I hope to have it fixed up by Tuesday. Yesterday was a good day at Box, but the four of us got a late start due to concern about rain. It took a long time to launch all four pilots, so the flights were not long. The air was perfec...
