Re: Mustang on Wednesday (or Tuesday)
Awesome day! Some of us are planning to fly Mustang again tomorrow. We'll leave Tucson around noon and plan to be in the LZ by 2 PM or so. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pb_blqoQfkQ/VGLXqOusA1I/AAAAAAAAAAc/0PsNYpE8PMM/s800/Mustang-Nov-11-14.jpg Brandon: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-7q7iszb...

Re: Mustang on Wednesday (or Tuesday)
It might be a little lighter than I would like. I'm planning on leaving Tucson at about noon. Will probably be in the LZ by 1:30 or 2 PM. Text me if you want to ride together. 4o1-378-09SS

Mustang on Wednesday (or Tuesday)
Mustang looks acceptable this Wednesday. Tuesday might work too but I'm not entirely convinced. Let me know if you're feeling it. I'm open to go either day (or both). Get there early on Tuesday (be ready to launch at 1 or 2 PM) for some thermaling. Or have another epic glass-off on Wednesday evening...

Re: Box Monday
Box delivered last evening. We drove to the back and hiked to the top. I launched at 4:00 PM and flew for 1h 35m. The wind on launch was about 12-14 mph when I launched but increased to 16 by the time everybody was in the air. Congratulations to Jessie for his first "real" flight. Jacob and Aaron sh...

Re: Box Monday
We should be ready to take off around 4 PM so going backwards, should be in the LZ by 1 - 1:30 PM and leave Tucson at about noon. Let's see how many people are interested first and then we'll figure out a meeting location.

Box Monday
Box might work well on Monday for a late afternoon/evening glass-off. Anyone up for an easy hike up to the top? Unless we can find a driver and a 4X4 to drop us off on the back side.

Re: Mustang on Monday
Winds turned out to be as predicted, West at 10-12 mph. John V, Aaron C and I launched at about 4 PM and flew for 1.5 hours in very smooth air. Beautiful fall glass-off with plenty of lift. We landed just as the sun set. Epic flight, wish you were there ;-) https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hph...

Mustang on Monday
I like the forecast for Mustang on Monday. Could work really well for some late afternoon ridge soaring. If interested, let's leave Tucson at around noon.

Re: Miller Canyon Fly-in
Saturday was no good for paragliding. I measured the winds at the HG launch and they were averaging 12-14 mph with gusts to 22, very turbulent. Direction was mostly South. The prediction was calling for lighter winds (7-10) at least before noon but it was a lot stronger. We looked at the PG launch a...

Re: Miller Canyon Fly-in
What do we do with the fly-in if the weather doesn't cooperate? It doesn't look extreme but I don't think it will work this weekend. Any ideas?

Dixon White Fly-in
We had a lot of fun over the weekend at the Dixon White Memorial Fly-in at the Craters. A record number of Tucson pilots (10) were present. Most of us camped at the base of Sheba and enjoyed a couple of cold (34.7F) starry nights. The weather wasn't ideal but we had amazing sunset sled rides on Frid...
